Web Update downloads old file versions

[NewsArchive]

Hi

Doing a Web Deployment, when the users go to check for an update, old
versions of the files in their computer browser cache is served, instead
of the new files that is on the internet. ( this is done via the
wupdate.exe utility)

If I go to the webbrowser and press CTRL-Refresh button and then run the
wupdate.exe utility again, it get's the correct files.

How do I ask wupdate.exe to ignore the local browser cache?

Regards

Ben,

I don't know if there is a general solution to such a cache problem, but
SetupBuilder 6.5 will provide a "no-cache" option. Perhaps this can help in
your case.

now for the big question .... when ????

I use
.........RInternetOpenURL(Self.HInternet,InterNetV ersionFileHandle,HeadersScript,0,INTERNET_FLAG_EXI SITING_CONNECT
+ INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE,0)

and was wondering if this (something similar) is not already in SB6 so
we can include it in the wupdate.sb6 script.....??????

kind regards

Ben,

SB6 does not use WinINet. SB6 makes use of the low-level WinSock library.

Sorry, forgot to answer the "when" question.
