Upgrades with Freeware

Thu Mar 03, 2022 1:36 pm

Hi

I see that automatic upgrades are included with a minimum of the Professional version, but what are the required steps to upgrade an application using the Freeware version?

Thank you

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Using the "Updater" (to automatically update your application) indeed requires at least the Professional version.

However, if you want to manually upgrade your applicaiton, here are the steps:

- go to "Product Details" page and increase the version (e.g. version 1.0.0 --> 1.0.1)

- change the ProductCode property (you will be prompted to do this when you build the project or change the views)

- build the new version

The newer version will remove the older version (if found on the machine).

Best regards,
