"path not valid" for updater

[matt123]

HI,
I just updated to 11.2.1 and now get the following error when trying to build an update project:

Creating updates... The file path (C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\Advanced Installer\Projects\xxx\Setup Files\xxx1.7.10.0.exe) for Update is not valid.

Build finished because an error was encountered.

Any ideas what could be causing this? The file is set using the browser in the File Path section of the updater properties, and it certainly exists.

thanks,
Matt

FYI - works if I copy the install file elsewhere, but for whatever reason will not work from the original location. Could AI be holding a file handle open somewhere? (I have noticed in the past that the updater doesn't like it if the file is in use, e.g. uploading at the time, but it used to be fine to switch between creating the install and the updater).

Hello,

I'm not sure why this happens. To make sure your "xxx1.7.10.0.exe" file hasn't been somehow corrupted, can you please rebuild the project which build the xxx1.7.10.0.exe" file referred in your updates configuration project and see if the behavior still persist?

It would be very useful for us if you could give us a detailed test case scenario which replicates this or if you could isolate the behavior in a sample.

All the best,
Daniel
