InstallAware

hello Support,
I am facing a problem in update process.

In update process after download process. Install window appear.



Then i click on install button . Installation start and Welcome dialog box appear. After that cancel the installation process .





Click on update button it show message no update are available.


I attach my project . Please see where is problem with the script and resolve my problem.

Dear Raul,

to handle your case you could try with modifying the default update script behavior, in order to intercept if the running package completed its installation.
This could be done with evaluating the value that returns the update package ( ... the one executed by the update script).

To return a desired value with the setup process ( ... in your case the downloaded update package), in the main script code you can use the "Terminate with Exit Code" statement just after the Apply Install command.

For example;

With the above example the setup process returns 100 if it completes correctly.

In the update script code instead, you need to verify if the value returned by the downloaded update, it is equal to 100 once its install process is terminated.

Example,
- By default with the update script, you have the following lines of code that are responsible of the update installation (Run Program) and to keep track of the installed updates with the "installedupdates.dat " file (Write into Text File).


Consequently, you should modify the above lines as below;


With the above example the "installedupdates" file, it will be updated if the value returned by the Run Program is 100 only ( ... update installation completed).

Alternatively and if you don't want to use the above method, you could even decide to install your updates silently.

Hope this helps you.

Regards

hello installaware support,



Apply Install (get result into variable SUCCESS)
if Variable SUCCESS Equals COMPLETE
Terminate with Exit Code 100
end

BUT MY_UPDATE_RESULT RETURN 0 IN MY BELOW SCRIPT...


Set Variable MY_UPDATE_RESULT to
Run Program $SUPPORTDIR$\$UPDATE_NAME$.exe $UPDATE_PARAMETERS$ $SILENTVAR$ REBOOTCOMPUTER=FALSE RUNAPP=FALSE REBOOTNOW=CANCEL (WAIT, get result into variable MY_UPDATE_RESULT)
if Variable MY_UPDATE_RESULT Equals 100
if Variable UPDATE_LOG Equals TRUE
Write into Text File $EXEDIR$\installedupdates.dat from Value $UPDATE_NAME$ (at end of file)
end
end

Dear Rahul,

... are you sure you have implemented "Terminate with Exit Code 100" with the package you are executing during update?

Regards

yes , i implemented. but i received 0 every time.

Please check your code carefully.

If you receive always "0", it can only means that the "Terminate with Exit Code 100" statement ... it is never executed by the called package.

Isn't the "exit code" the code that is returned by the called executable which, unless otherwise specified by that executable is always 0.
