TWebUpdate problem

Sienaert · December 10, 2011, 6:15am

Hi,

I am using the TWebUpdate component and the executable that I want to update is being replaced as expected.

However, other files (e.g. Excel spreadsheets) are not updated.

I have included my INF file and the Leeftijd.xlsm is not updated.
What am I doing wrong? All help is appreciated.

Alain

Since Windows Vista, such scheme can not longer be guaranteed to work. If the {APP} folder is under \Program Files, your app can't write to it if it is not running with admin privs.
To solve this, make the 2nd file also an appcomp
