I upgraded from 3.8.1128 to 3.9.702 a few days ago, and I am observing a change in behavior in the why my bundles are updated. (I am aware that there are new features in 3.9 related to bundle updating, but was not expecting this behavior change. At the same time I did not revert my build system back to 3.8 and validate that this observation is related to upgrading the wix tools.)
Previously I would create a new build of my bundle and post the build to my web host site, with the external packages, and an atom feed file, similar to the implementation in the Wix toolset setup. IF the user ran an older build, the mba/engine checks the atom feed url, and if a newer build is detected the 'Update Available' button is presented. The user clicks the button and the remote bundle is downloaded and started moving from say build 1.0.5 to 1.0.10 (even if previously I had launched 1.0.5 and installed an then uninstalled 1.0.7 prior to creating the 1.0.10 build). Also the bundle seemed to be cached in a folder under c:\ProgramData. Now when the user runs 1.0.5 (with no packages cached in ProgramData, or the local setup folder), 'Update Available' is presented and when clicked, the bundle then runs 1.0.6 and presents 'Update Available' again. The user clicks and it runs 1.0.7 and presents 'Update Available' again, etc marching up to the latest which it finally downloads from the web site. It seems to have ached these files under the user's ..\AppData\Local\Package Cache\. So is this the expected desired behavior to present the older bundles first before getting the build that I posted to the web site? Is there a code change I can implement (in my mba?) to get back to the behavior where it gets the latest bundle I posted to the web site? Thanks.
