I have been trying to get the logging. On my test PC I can only get setups created with the Release build of wix 3.9.720 to run, so when using the test box I tried to add log messages to each of the three handlers, but in this situation it seems that DetectUpdate is never fired. (As indicated before the existing log message that says "Potential update..." does not show up in the log when I added other log messages to DetectUpdate. Messages in DetectUpdateBegin and DetectUpdateComplete do show in that same log. The above report was created using bundles created with the installed wix 3.9.720 with DEBUG and Verbose logging enabled.
So in another test scenario on my development machine, I built a debug version of wix 3.9.720 and linked to it. But in this situation I have to use our production build box to build another version of the same project to post to the web site, so that at the development station I can step into the update code. (Which creates some disruption for our normal business production.) In this scenario I did not see the above 'up to date' behavior yet, but when I step into OnDetectUpdate in my mba, DetectUpdateEventArgs e cannot be evaluated. It can be evaluated in DetectUpdateBegin or DetectUpdateComplete. Looking at the code it now looks like I should be able to modify the feed Url in DetectUpdateBegin, like I was doing before, but for now I do not have any of that code implemented until I understand the more basic behavior. There are old conversations about modifying the Update URL prior to looking for a download. In this case all I am doing is using an internally defined registry key to indicate to the BA that the download should come from our QA test server rather than from the 'live' site which is declared in the bundle. Customers will not have this internal key and the bundle will always deliver the 'live' server out in the wild. QA objects to the notion that they will test something, say it is ready for release, and then what is actually released must be recompiled and retested just to change the URL to a live site. So I implemented this method of changing the URL within the BA based on a privately defined input. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/wix39-720-Burn-DetectUpdate-fails-to-detect-new-version-tp7596046p7596049.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
