I call the Updater.exe program from my application with the command line option "/checknow". In order for me to test my app, I had to copy the Updater.exe file from the Advanced Installer folder to where my application is running. The issue I found is that I also need the Updater.ini that it uses. Since this has specific information relating to my app (i.e. [UpgradeID], etc...) I just can't copy that from the AI folder too.
The only way I found to create this Updater.ini file is to manually create it looking at the INI settings in the "Files and Folder" section (i.e. The INI file that AI automatically added.)
Unless, I'm missing something simple, it would be nice if we could "Export" the Updater.ini file that AI creates. This would allow us to easily test the Update functionality of our applications before building the setup. Likewise, it would be nice if AI had a "Copy" feature for the Updater.exe so it could be placed to a specific location too (for example my application's development folder.)
Thank you very much,

Hi,
We shall consider to implement this in a feature version. We add this on our TODO list. Thank you for your suggestions. Until then you can create a test project to test the updater.
