;aiu;
[General]
URL=http://www.xxxx.com/dl/XXX SETUP.exe
AppDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\My Software\

Hello,

Does the "Updates URL" field from the Updater page point to your updates configurations file on the server?

All the best,
Mihai

[kojakfull]

Yes it does point to http://www.xxxx.com/dl/XXX SETUP.exe it should be the exe file right?

Let me know.

Thanks

[mihai.petcu]

No, the updates configuration file is not the .EXE. The updates configuration file is the .INI you posted initially.

Best,
Mihai

So I need to change my ini file to something like this:

Code: Select all

;aiu;
[General]
URL=http://www.xxxx.com/dl/config.ini
AppDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\My Software\
CheckFrequency=2
CompanyName=Blog Commenting Ninja
DownloadsFolder=C:\Users\kojakfull\AppData\Roaming\My Software\My Software\updates\
ApplicationName=My Software
ID={C50D1AC7-B45C-4566-80FC-752543D36A73}
ApplicationVersion=1.0.0

Can you show me some real example on how the update connect to my server?

Thanks

The full example is our tutorial for using the updater.

Regarding the error from the first screen-shot you've posted, this appears if the INI file was edited after what Advanced Installer generated it. This file must be saved in ANSI format, and the first characters must be ";aiu;". To check this I recommend a HEX viewer or sending us the original file that you have on your server, by e-mail.

Bogdan
