Installer update check configuration

[valiot]

When the installer checks for updates, it displays a very simple dialog.



The user cannot read the release descriptions or feature list. How can I display the enhanced updates dialog during install?

[valiot]

Also, if the user cancels the download of the update, they get a confusing error message. Can this dialog be made nicer?

I just noticed that if the user selects "Retry" it doesn't retry. It just jumps to the current install wizard and skips the retry of the download.

Hello,

I'm afraid this is the standard behavior and you cannot achieve what you want.

Also, if the user cancels the download of the update, they get a confusing error message. Can this dialog be made nicer?

We'll try to add an improvement regarding this. Thank you for your suggestion.

I just noticed that if the user selects "Retry" it doesn't retry. It just jumps to the current install wizard and skips the retry of the download.

Indeed, this seems to be an Advanced Installer issue. A fix will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

All the best,
Daniel

I just realized I had posted about this issue previously and forgotten.
This is still not fixed even after your new releases. I cannot use the autoupdate from the installer. It's simply broken. Has it ever worked?
I'm frustrated because I was depending on this feature.

I'm afraid that a fix for this issue has not been implemented in an Advanced Installer release yet. However, I increased its priority and hopefully it will be available soon.

You can see a response on our "Error trying to update from setup" thread.

This was fixed in version 16.2 of Advanced Installer released on August 1st, 2019.
