WebUpdate and UpdateBuilder issue

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Hello,

I tried a few times but I cannot update the .exe via TWebUpdate.
The following are the parameters of TWebUpdate and UpdateBuilder:

  object WebUpdate1: TWebUpdate
    Agent = 'TWebUpdate'
    DateFormat = 'dd/mm/yyyy'
    DateSeparator = '/'
    ExtractCAB = True
    FTPDirectory = '/home/xxxxxxxxxxxx/'
    FTPPassive = True
    Host = 'ftp.xxxxxx.com'
    LogFileName = 'WUPDATE.LOG'
    Password = 'xxxxxxxxx'
    PostUpdateInfo.Enabled = False
    ShowDownloadProgress = True
    Signature = 'WebUpdate'
    TempDirectory = '.'
    TimeFormat = 'hh:nn'
    TimeSeparator = ':'
    UpdateType = ftpUpdate
    UpdateConnect = wucConnectPromptHangup
    URL =
      'ftp://ftp.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.INF'
    UserID = 'xxxxxxxxxx.com'
    Version = '2.2.7.1'
    Left = 336
    Top = 88
  end


[update]
newversion=1.0.0.2
localversion=xxxxxxx.exe
[files]
count=1
[file1]
url=xxxxxxxx.exe_NEW
newversion=1.0.0.2
localversion=xxxxxxxxxxx.exe
mandatory=1
[application]
appupdate=1
appname=xxxxxxxxxx.exe
appcomps=xxxxxxxxxxxx.exe_NEW
[eula]
file=EULA.txt

When I run the .exe I have the warning saying a new version is available. I proceed with the update and the new file is correctly downloaded and saved in C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp with the name xxxxxxxx.exe_NEW.
When the application restarts I still have the old .exe version and the warning saying a new version is available pops up again.

Where I am doing things wrong ?

Many thanks

Alberto

I add the log file too.

Given you have an EULA option configured, I see it stops after downloading the EULA file, so this could indicate the EULA was not accepted and therefore the update did not proceed?

4

No, the EULA is accepted

5

The last point in the log file is

 [915] Download : EULA.txt (Status:3) (Error:0)
and after this, nothing happens, so, I cannot see any other reason than the EULA that is not accepted.
If this problem persists, please put a breakpoint in the code where  message 939 is logged and trace from there why it is stopping the update process.

I got rid of the EULA and the following is the UpdateBuilder set up now:

[update]
newversion=1.0.0.2
localversion=xxx.exe
[files]
count=1
[file1]
url=xxxxxxxxx.exe_NEW
newversion=1.0.0.2
localversion=xxxxxxxxx.exe
targetdir={app}
mandatory=1
[application]
appupdate=1
appname=xxxxxxxx.exe
appcomps=xxxxxxxxxx.exe_NEW

The issue remains for me and the following is the log file:

Where am I doing it wrong ?

Can you modify your .INF file to:

[update]
newversion=1.0.0.2
localversion=xxx.exe
[files]
count=1
[file1]
url=xxxxxxxxx.exe_NEW
[application]
appupdate=1
appname=xxxxxxxx.exe
appcomps=xxxxxxxxxx.exe_NEW

There is an unneeded double version check.
