Hi,
We were wondering if the auto-update process can be tweaked to download from the published site a file other than our Setup exe?
For instance, if we wanted to download from the published area an xlsx file which our program could then consume. No installation would be required in this scenario since the files that would be affected by the downloaded and consumed xlsx file are not in the Program Files tree, but are in the C:\ProgramData\MyApp\ tree.
Is there an example of something similar to this process that is available?
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Can auto-update bring down an xlsx file
Hello Kevin,
The closest I can think of achieving your requirement would be to create a patch containing only the XLSX file and deliver it through the Updater.
Since the patch consists from the diffs between two packages - in our case, only the XLSX file - the download size should be really small.
For more information about this, please have a look over "Manage a patch" article.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Catalin
