multiple products sharing an updates URL

[leonardguy]

We're developing a product which comes in multiple editions (e.g. myProductVanilla and myProductChocolate and myProductStrawberry) and are trying to set things up so they all point to the same updates URL (e.g. updates.myCompany.com/myProduct).

Each edition has its own upgrade code, and the product codes are regenerated for each build. When I set up the update installer project I create three updates with the same version, one for each edition.

The problem is that users of one edition see all the updates, even for the edition they don't have (e.g. users of myProductVanilla see updates for myProductChocolate and myProductStrawberry but they shoudn't). My understanding (or maybe hope) was that using different upgrade codes for each edition would allow them to share the same updates URL without updates for different editions being visible.

Is this scenario possible with a single updates URL, or does each edition need its own URL?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Leonard,

Currently, this behavior is not supported, each of your editions must use their own updates configuration file.
However I have added this improvement on our TODO list and we will implement this behavior in a future version of Advanced Installer.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Best regards,
Gabriel

OK, thanks for the clarification.
