Re: Why My Update failed?

Hello,

The error seems to appear because the SHA256 signature that was computed for the new version (stored in the updates.txt file) does not match the update package downloaded by the Updater.

Do you get this error when you try to install the latest version of your product through the Updater? Does it look like the product was updated even though the error is thrown?

This may happen if you manually changed the ;aiu file or the .MSI has been changed after the ;aiu file has been created.

Please make sure that you create the ;aiu file using the Updates Configuration Project template as you can see in the updates file tutorial.

Let me know if the behaviour still persist when using the recommended approach.

Best regards,
Liviu
