Azure pipeline missing updater.exe in version 16.8.1

Azure pipeline build using Advanced Installer 16.8.1 fails with the following message.
Resources referred by the project are missing:
C:\azagent\A1\_work\_tool\advinst\16.8.1\x86\stubs\x86\updater.exe
The build is successful when using version 16.8.0.

Re: Azure pipeline missing updater.exe in version 16.8.1

Hi,

Could you please check your antivirus history detection log and see if the related Updater.exe file was somehow falsely detected as a threat?

If so, could you please make sure you are using the latest version (and virus definition database) for your antivirus program and see if this behavior still occurs?

All the best,
Daniel

Thank you. I found that Sophos had issues with this file and also C:\azagent\A1\_work\_tool\advinst\16.8.1\x86\bin\x86\registryTracer32.dll.

Deleting the cached tool and running the pipeline again has restored the missing files.

You are always welcome. I am glad you got this working.

Also, we reported a false positive detection for our file to Sophos and hopefully they will get this whitelisted soon.

All the best,
