    Hi Mark,

    sorry, the WebUpdate_x64.exe installer (Time Stamp 1:50 PM) was just a test installer to find out what might cause this issue. I forgot to remove it from the ZIP.

    The WebUpdate_x64.exe (Time stamp 1:56 PM) is a simple 64-bit mode project. I compiled a 64-bit version of the original WUPDATE_SSL.EXE. Then I changed Line 82 in the WebUpdate_x64.sbp project to include the custom compiled WUPDATE_SSL.EXE (instead of the 32-bit mode standard one). As a result, WebUpdate works in 64-bit :-)

    Friedrich,

    I ran the WebUpdate_x64.exe installer as instructed. I then ran WUpdate_SSL.exe that was installed into \program files\WebUpdatex64\.


    It didnt work. Then I noticed that the zip had 2 installers. When I ran the one in the subfolder, it worked as noted below.

    Attachment 5090

    However, there remains some mystery here... Other than including the more recently compiled wupdate_ssl.sbp, what was different?

    There's no way to compare the wupdate_ssl.sbp you provided to the one I have without opening them both and eyeballing each line to see what's different.

    Can you clarify the difference between the wupdate_ssl.sbp in my dist/1033 folder as compared to the wupdate_ssl.sbp in the zip you provided?

    Likewise - what change is necessary to make wucheck_ssl work?

    Thanks,

    I had a feeling something was up:/

    Hope everyone is ok. Will report back on my test results.

    BTW, please see Line 82 in the "WebUpdate_x64.sbp" project file. This includes the custom made 64-bit WebUpdate client into the installer.

    Hi Mark,

    sorry, Covid-19 slows down processes here and messes everything up :-(

    I have uploaded my test source codes. I have compiled a 64-bit installation which initializes the 64-bit WebUpdate process. I have re-compiled the original WebUpdate client as x64. All files are in the ZIP.

    http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/WebUpdate_x64.zip

    Just for fun, please install WebUpdate_x64.exe (my x64 test installer) and after the installation, run WUPDATE_SSL.exe unter c:\program files\WebUpdate_x64. It detects the 64-bit configuration details.

    Does this work on your machine?

    Sorry again for the delay.

    So, it appears the problem is that the SET %APPTITLE% isnt working.

    Here's the user's corresponding HKLM\Software\Lindersoft\WebUpdate\Apps\%APPKEY% (notice the WUCHECK_SSL64 - which is my recompiled 64 bit wucheck_ssl):

    Attachment 5084

    So that (above) references the user's HKLM\SoftwareLindersoft\WebUpdate\AppPaths\

    Attachment 5083

    Note that the key LOCAL_APP is present and is not blank.

    I added this code to my 64 bit copy of WUCheck_SSL (blue line):

    Attachment 5085

    When the user ran the updated WUCheck_SSL64, he got this:

    Attachment 5086

    Seems like the HKEY get didnt get from the right place.

    So I thought - I dont see "set x64 mode" anywhere in this installer - which is apparently not the same as "create a 64 bit installer"<g>.

    So I added "Enable x64 support" and sent him another exe.

    Attachment 5087

    Same message - showing %APPTITLE% as blank.

    Not sure if this is me, or WUCheck or something else

    Friedrich,

    I recompiled a copy of wucheck_ssl as 64 bit. Didnt help. Same message.
