This is great! I looked at the source code for the WiX installer itself, which is making use of the Bundle Update element, and actually does exactly what I would want to do in my case: Check a feed to see if a newer version has been posted, and then continue accordingly.
After checking the feed it ends with WixBA.Model.Engine.SetUpdate(string localSource, string downloadSource, long size, UpdateHashType hashType, byte[] hash); Does the engine actually do the download for me? The schema says this about the Location attribute, but I think that's only about burn checking the feed/Url and determining whether an update is available automatically instead of me telling it: "The absolute path or URL to check for an update bundle. Currently the engine provides this value in the IBootstrapperApplication::OnDetectUpdateBegin() and otherwise ignores the value. In the future the engine will be able to acquire an update bundle from the location and determine if it is newer than the current executing bundle." I'll play around with this and see what happens, thanks for the pointers! // Sascha On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 11:39 AM, Rob Mensching <r...@firegiant.com> wrote: > Documentation is lagging. > > > // OnDetectUpdateBegin - called when the engine begins detection for > bundle update. > // > // Return: > // IDOK instructs the engine to attempt update detection. > // > // IDCANCEL instructs the engine to stop detection. > // > // IDNOACTION instructs the engine to skip update detection. > STDMETHOD_(int, OnDetectUpdateBegin)( > __in_z LPCWSTR wzUpdateLocation, > __in int nRecommendation > ) = 0; > > // OnDetectUpdate - called when the engine has an update candidate for > bundle update. > // > // Return: > // IDOK instructs the engine to stop further update detection. > // > // IDCANCEL instructs the engine to stop detection. > // > // IDNOACTION instructs the engine to process further update > candidates. > STDMETHOD_(int, OnDetectUpdate)( > __in_z_opt LPCWSTR wzUpdateLocation, > __in DWORD64 dw64Size, > __in DWORD64 dw64Version, > __in_z_opt LPCWSTR wzTitle, > __in_z_opt LPCWSTR wzSummary, > __in_z_opt LPCWSTR wzContentType, > __in_z_opt LPCWSTR wzContent, > __in int nRecommendation > ) = 0; > > // OnDetectUpdateComplete - called when the engine completes detection > for bundle update. > // > // Remarks: > // wzUpdateLocation is null if no update was available. > STDMETHOD_(void, OnDetectUpdateComplete)( > __in HRESULT hrStatus, > __in_z_opt LPCWSTR wzUpdateLocation > ) = 0; > > > _____________________________________________________________ > Short replies here.
