In a thread related to wucheck (and presumably wucheck_ssl) getting a -1 (ie: ERR_IDEPLOYCONFIG), I found some wucheck code that Arnor drew attention to.

The code in wucheck.sb6 that gives you this return code/message:


If %APPTITLE% Equals "" Then
Display Message Box "#ERR_IDEPLOYCONFIG#" -- "Web Update"
Exit Installation -1
End


Then a comment from Arnor:

"The %APPTITLE% is retrieved from the registry:"

... about this code:

Set Variable %APPTITLE% to FUNCTION:Get Registry("LOCAL_APP") from
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lindersoft\WebUpdate\ Apps\%APPKEY%"

I am getting the same error on a new(ish) laptop that has my app installed on it.

I looked on 2 different machines and neither of them have this registry entry (I checked the wow section too).

On the 2 yr old machine, wucheck_ssl works. On the newer machine (both on the same Win10 build) that already has this app installed, wucheck_ssl fails with the -1. Wupdate_ssl works fine on this machine. There is no proxy.

The machine where the installer is created also doesnt have this registry entry.

Seems like there is a disconnect here somewhere, but Im not sure where.

Hi Mark,

could you please check the uninstall .log on these machines? Do you see the "Lindersoft\WebUpdate\AppPaths" registry keys and entries in the log?

If this is not the case: is your initial installer "requireAdministrator" manifested?

BTW, if you are interested, please send your initial installer project (.sbp) and an uninstall .log from one of the machines to support [at] lindersoft.com and we'll review your code.
