Web Deployment Questions

[NewsArchive]

Good afternoon,

We have everything working with the exception of integrating the wupdate/wucheck with our application (clarion based).

We do see the wupdate.exe and when run (file manager) it does update the application.

We DO NOT see a wcheck.exe installed and can't find where do I tell SB to generate the wucheck.exe

I'm guessing that once we have a wucheck.exe we can integrate.

Let me know ... thanks

I believe it comes as a source project - you just compile it. In fact I
have both WUpdate.spb and WUCheck.spb that I compile as part of one of
my client projects.

I found these files in my "c:\Program Files\Lindersoft\SetupBuilder 10
Developer\Redist\1033" folder:

wucheck.sbp
wucheck_ssl.sbp
wupdate.sbp
wupdate_ssl.sbp

So I'd just copy it/them/all to a folder where you can compile them and
you should be good to go :)

Best regards,

Arnor, thanks ... was able to get it going by editing the scrip logic (editor).

Now I need to figure out how to call it from inside the .exe and exit if necessary.

This is the code I use in Build Automator. I have just one program,
autoupdate.exe - a modified wupdate - that I use to both check for
update and update:

I first call autoupdate.exe with /C /S to check silently for an update.Â
If it returns 1, then I know it found an update and then I run the
autoupdate.exe without any parameters and use HALT() to terminate the
program. In the autoupdate.exe as the last thing to do is to start the
Build Automator again. This way the user starts the update, then BA
shuts itself down and then the update starts BA again when it's done.

Best regards,

Please see the attached screenshot. In the latest SetupBuilder version,
there is a new "Install Web Check Client..." script function to handle it.

Thanks Friedrich ... yes I was able to deduct by looking at the documentation (although was not 100% clear). The confusion was that wupdate.exe is
added when selecting some "checkboxes" ... we were looking for a similar functionality for wucheck.exe

Thanks Arnor, very helpful.

Are you renaming wupdate.exe to autopdate.exe?

Yes, I wanted a unique name just in case. Since you have the source,
it's pretty easy. I just copied it to my BA deployment folder so I
could modify it without mucking up the default one. The negative is
that if Friedrich changes things I have to update mine as well.
