SB6 wont web update

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich

I'm using the latest version of SB6 and I've created a main install exe with
its wud file (cablestock.wud) contents like so:
[SB5UPDATE]
Version=9054.070212
Setup=BelcomSQL.exe


I've done a new webupdate using the File, New, Webupdate project, run
through that wizard then did Project, TaskAutomation, Perform Auto Update
Scan. SB6 has correctly identified the two modified dll's, created a binary
path and ftp'ed it to the webserver. The new cablestock.wud file has this
content:
[SB5UPDATE]
Version=9054.070215
Setup=WebUpdate1.exe

but my app doesnt recognise the update, it says I have the most upto date
version.

This is the same problem I had when I asked about the Product Version length
back on the 22nd Jan (ProductVer Length was the posts title). Back then I
had the version C6.3.9054.YYYYMMDD but couldnt get it to work in SB6 then
(not tried in SB5) so have stripped out the C6.3 bit.

Any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong.<g>

Cheers

Hi Richard,

Do you have the *SAME* product GUID for 9054.070212 and 9054.070215? ;-)

Hi Friedrich

The main apps install has :
Productguid {C28173B0-4DE8-11D9-6784-00C7E02518BE}
Updateguid {C28173B0-4DE8-11D9-3D6C-00C7E0254AE1}

and the webupdate has
Productguid {C28173B0-4DE8-11D9-6784-00C7E02518BE}
Updateguid {E646E710-BD3C-11DB-6784-0002B03B18BE}

So yes the same product guids. Should they be different?

Cheers

Hi Richard,

Yes, your settings are correct. ProductGUID should be identical,
UpgradeGUID can be different.

Sorry, I was not precise enough. You have 9054.070212, that is AAAA.BBBBBB
and
not allowed (the maximum is AAAA.BBBB.CCCC.DDDD).

I'll check if it is possible to increase version comparison to
AAAAAA.BBBBBB.CCCCCC.DDDDDD in version 6.1.

I'll keep you posted.

Hi Friedrich

Ah, I see whats going on now. If you can increase it to 6digits that would
be great becuase I tend to use the ISO date format to id the versions so
that would be handy for backups etc, for now I'll change it to 4 digits. <g>

Hi Friedrich

When creating a new webupdate project would it also be possible if the FTP
settings from General Information, Release Distribution section could be
copied across automatically as well from the original/previous project?
