can i get the value of the property for updates config file url?

I would like to get the value for the "Updates configuration file URL" during install (and possibly uninstall). Where is this value stored? I do not see it as one of the property-fields I can select (for example to save it to the registry in my own value).

Thanks,
AJ

Hello AJ,

We do not have a predefined Property which stores the value of the "Updates configuration file URL" field.

In order to store the the value of the "Updates configuration file URL" field, you can go to Install parameters page from the "Package Definition" group, create a new Property with the name (e.g. MYPROP) and the value set to the download URL you want and then go back to Updater page from the "Product Information" group, tick the "Check for updates before installation (requires EXE setup file)", and in the "Updates configuration file URL" field add your property e.g.
MYPROP
If you have any further questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact us.

So basically we're reversing the lookup...we're creating a property and then going back and using that in the updater config.

OK, if it works!

Yes, this should work without any problems.
