Auto Updater on a local server

Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:57 pm

I would like to use the auto update feature on a local server using a network share. I can not use IIS to host the folder.

Is there any way to get the auto updater to recognize that the files are being stored at a location such as \\myIntranetServer\Updates$\

Hi,

For a local server you can try using "file://" for the URLs used by the Updater. For example, the URL to an Updates configuration file can look like this:

Code: Select all

file://\\myIntranetServer\Updates$\updates.txt
