Web Deployment on secure server

[BobTaylor]

My server recently crashed so I brought up a new one as secure. I had been doing wucheck without issue but now it says 1) if using wucheck gives the 5060 manifest error or 2) if using wucheck_ssl I get "Cannot download server manifest. Error 509000004.

I can use https:// and download the manifest file (which is a .txt).

How can I debug this to see where the wucheck is looking and what it sees.

OK... update...

Changed the download port to 443 and now I get the download message ready to start. Since I am running this on an IIs server I have the build set to create the .EXE (stub ?) and a .0001.bin download file.

The EXE starts OK but then it cannot find the .00001.bin file.

Next step???

Thanks.

Bob,

what happens when you try to download the .0001.bin from within your browser? Is it accessible? Perhaps a typical MIME issue if you can't access it via the browser.

Hi Friedrich,
Thank you for the reply.
Using Filezilla, downloading the .00001.bin file starts the download OK. Using Firefox the file starts the download too.

In using the WUCheck_SSL return a 1. Running wupdate_ssl from the main program pops the message "Please enter the disk labeled TournamentKeeper90_1494.00001. Press enter when ready. Pressing enter gives me a decompression error.

Hi Friedrich,

At this point until we can get this issue resolved I am writing a procedure to download the manifest file and compare the version number to the program's generated version number.

Bob,

FIleZilla is FTP/FTPS, right? But what you need is download via HTTPS. As far as I know, FileZilla does not support HTTPS at all. Can you please send a direct link to your .00001 to our support @ lindersoft dot com so we can try to download it via Edge? IMO, you have a typical MIME issue on your IIS.

I thought I sent you a post that the file has been sent to the support email.

I did get my application going to the website and comparing the manifest to the apps internal version. This works pretty well. But the user still has to download and install the updated program. I still would like to do in SetupBuilder since I can avoid the manual download and install process.

Thanks.

Bob,

In "Enable Web Installation", do you have "IIS Server Image" enabled (and ".bin File Extension")? Please disable both and compile & upload it again. Does this make a difference?

BTW, I checked your server and all my test web installs downloaded (from your server) via SSL without any problem. So IMO, there is a misconfiguration in your web installation project.

If you are interested, please send your web install project file to support (at) lindersoft (dot) com and we'll review your code.

I also checked the IIS/.bin settings, and I don't believe they're causing the issue. BTW, this is an old SetupBuilder 2019 project, correct? It's not SetupBuilder 2025.

Your downloads are not login-protected (no username and no password required). Please therefore make sure that you haven't defined any login credentials in your project settings ? leave both the username and password fields completely empty.

I'm confident we can identify the problem once we take a closer look at your project.
