Hi,

The problem with your configuration file is the following: the first line of the updates configuration file must contain the following signature (string):

Code: Select all

 ";aiu;" 

Therefore, it should look like the following:

Code: Select all

;aiu;

[RunningBall]
Name = RunningBall 1.0
URL = http://runningball.info/update/RunningBall.msi
Size = 3023788
Description = This is the latest version of MyEditor
Feature = Support for other file types
Feature1 = Support for different encodings
BugFix = Fix bug with file open
BugFix1 = Fix crash when opening large files
BugFix2 = Fix bug with search in file feature
FilePath = %ProgramFiles%\MyEditor\RunningBall.exe
Version = 1.0

[quote="Ionut"]Hi,

 ";aiu;" 

I am having the same problem with a new install of version 3.8.1 and a new project using the updater. Here is what your system generated (I've replaced some text with XYZ to protect my client):

[General]
ApplicationName=XYZ
DownloadsFolder=C:\Documents and Settings\dzar\Application Data\XYZ\updates\
ID={BE7A72E0-4569-4049-9B57-7B7770A29741}
URL=http://www.XYZ.com/updates
AppDir=C:\Program Files\XYZ\
CheckFrequency=2
CompanyName=XYZ Corporation

Even when I added

;aiu;

as the first line before anything else, I get the error that this is an invalid .ini file. I assume the .ini file it's looking for is caller updater.ini in the same director as updater.exe? That's what your system generated, anyway.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

The problem is that you edited the wrong INI file. The file generated by Advanced Installer is the updater configuration file and doesn't need any editing.

You should edit the updates configuration file that is located on the server. This file must start with ";aiu;".
