View Full Version : Urgent: WebUpdate Problem


NewsArchive

SetupBuilder has always stored the value from the "Product Version"
value of the "Enable Web Update" check of the "Web Deployment" page in
HKLM\Software\Lindersoft\Webupdate\Apps\<guid>\LOCAL_VERSION

All of a sudden it seems to have started taking the value for
LOCAL_VERSION from [PRODUCTVER] instead.

We've always kept [PRODUCTVER] set to the main release and incremented
the "Product Version" reference (which does get written in the INI file)
to flag a new release.

The last few days (since I updated SetupBuilder) I've been swamped with
calls from our users asking if we are really releasing updates every day!

Any chance of a quick fix for this, please.

Simon,

I think this was a bug in all previous versions. I don't remember off the
top of my head exactly when it got fixed.

In a web update installation package, you have to increase [PRODUCTVER] (the
product version for the latest build) to tell the web update client that a
new version is available. By default, Product Version in the iDeploy Web
Update Properties is set to [PRODUCTVER], so most users did not notice the
bug.

BTW, I checked this in SetupBuilder 6 and the "Product Version" field in
iDeploy Web Update Properties is not supported any longer.

In SetupBuilder 5.6, I would suggest to set Product Version in the iDeploy
Web Update Properties to [PRODUCTVER]

OK. If it's not supported, could you duplicate [PRODUCTVER] in the spot
that "Product Version" occupies? I always have SetupBuilder open on
this page so that I remember to update the version number.

Simon,

What about the following? I can add a "Update Version" button to the Web
Deployment Visualizer. If clicked, it opens a window that displays the
current [PRODUCTVER] compiler variable value. You can then increase the
version number.

The would be good.
