Re: Local application data

Re: App Data files not installing on new installs
I should add that if the customer had the app installed before the uninstall does not remove the folder from app data. Thus a reinstall works. However a customer who is a fresh install does not get the new folder in app data.

If the user is not and has an admin install it for him then the folder and files do not show up. When I say install the user starts the install and when prom...

Patch Hangs
I had succesfully worked thru getting the Update process to work and then I had to change some code in one of my projects. Since it was small and did not change the size of the msi at all, I figured this must be a patch. After downloading and installing the full Windows SDK for Windows 10, I was abl...

Re: patch building and msimsp.exe
I am entering the world of patches now, running into a problem.
Does anyone know where the msimsp.exe exists within the Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 10.0.17134.12

Re: download update size does not match
Thanks Daniel, I read thru previous posts about the updater code not working due to a bug in AI 13.1, so I have upgraded to the latest version and the timer works and calls the code. However I still cannot figure out why AI still things there is an update to be installed when the most current versio...

Re: download update size does not match
So I coded the silent part of the update. On my test and production systems nothing happens after 10000 (seconds, or whatever it is). I ran debug on the code and I am getting BasePriority = 'process.BasePriority' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' In this code private stat...

Re: download update size does not match
So here is my process. I revise the code to the app, rebuild it using VS 2015. Then I access AI and point file path to the exe in the solution, build it and upload the Updates.txt and the new exec. Where should I be picking up the exe from? I downloaded the file and pointed AI to the exe file and bu...

Re: download update size does not match
Thanks Daniel,I do have a question though I had to manual change the file size in the Updates.text file as what is sitting on my linux server is different than what was computed by AI. I also had to run the md5sum on the linux server to get the correct hash. How do I get AI to calculate the size and...

Re: download update size does not match
Ok so I was doing the md5sum on the byte size shown on a ls -l instead of doing the md5sum on the file itself. That worked. Now I just need to work thru the Windows message saying the Another version of the product .... blah

Re: download update size does not match
So the AI update aiu file contains a size of 230912 but sitting on the server the size is actually 6460867. When I code that into the Updates.txt file I get to the Installing Updates and then the wrong md5 error. I took 6460867 and ran it thru an md5 calc and put 44d54cc7a4ffcf2baa5fbff32c3c6d89 int...
