Hello Krishna,

This may happen if the addin is installed per-user and you use our "Updates without elevation" option of the Updater tool. In this case the updates package will be installed by the Updater under LocalSystem account and could appear duplicated in the products list.

The "Updates without elevation" option is intended only to be used for per-machine setup packages.

If this is not the case, then please send us the AIP (project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate its settings.

All the best,
Daniel

Hello Krishna,

To give you a clear solution I will need to check your setup project settings. So, can you please send us the AIPs (project files) of your old and new product version to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Hi Daniel,

I can explain you the scenario. I have a plugin created in visual studio, I make the installer wih auto update feature, it gets installed and works fine. Now when I make changes in the code and make a fresh build in visual studio. Then I make update the version and choose option as generate new. I goto files and folders and add new build files using the wizard. and make a fresh build in advanced installer.

I create new update configuration file and add the new build. It generates new .txt file that I upload along with the updated new build in server.

When I check for update it finds new build and installs plugin but when I check outlook I find replica of my plugin instead of the plugin getting updated. The process should be that it should just update the files that are already available in location.

If you still did not get I can duplicate this scenario and send you.

Thanks,
Krishna

Hello Krishna,

Yes, please do so. If you could send us a sample replicating this behavior this will be great. This way we can fully investigate your project settings and test the scenario on our side too.

Just send us a sample (AIPs project files + their built setup packages) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them.

All the best,
Daniel
