I have been using Advanced installer for the last year without issues until the otherday, which I think may have coincided with an Advanced Installer update. I am thinking that the update may have changed something that I am not aware of.
This is my process.
I have an 'Installer AIP' file which points to the folder holding the application. This has an UpDater which is in a shared folder on the Server.
I have an 'UpDate AIP' file which creates the text file in the shared folder on the Server.
1. I change the build No. in my application.
2. I rebuild the application.
3. I change the build number in 'Installer AIP' and get prompted and I select 'Create new product code'
4. I re-build the 'Installer AIP'
5. Once re-build is done, I update the build No. in the 'UpDate AIP' file
6. In the 'UpDate' menu item > Update installer Tab > product version > enter new build No.
7. In the 'UpDate' menu item > Update installer destination Tab > expected value > enter new build No.
8. Rebuild the file.
9. Copy the newly created MSI file to the shared folder on the Server.
10. Click on my application short cut and follow prompts to update the application.
Up until a few days this worked like clockwork. In the last week I did two things.
1. I updated the advanced installer application to 19.9
2. In my application I changed the connection string
The rebuilt files of my application are being updated in the AIP file correctly. The updater.exe and the updater.ini file is in there as well.
This is my 'Update' txt file output
Code: Select all

[TenantyChartInvoice121]
Name = TenantChartInvoice
ProductVersion = 1.6.23.0
URL = file://\\192.168.*.***\勤務関係/TenantChartInvoice.exe
Size = 115316250
ReleaseDate = 20/12/2021
MD5 = 6ed29c790babb8d615825a573e6cd57c
ServerFileName = TenantChartInvoice.exe
Flags = Sys64
RegistryKey = HKUD\Software\Progress\TenantChartInvoice\Version
Version = 1.6.23.0
EDIT: I have just noticed that the `Updater.exe` file in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 19.9\stubs\x86` folder has not been updated for about 10 days or about the same time that the updater stoped working. How do build the updater to update this file as this may be the issue why it is not updating correctly.
Any ideas what is going on?
