InstallAware

There is a similar post in tech support by another user that has gone unanswered for over one year. As a pre-sales evaluation, that seriously concerns me.

Anyway, my question is:

I've created an installer (v3.0.0)
Installed on a test machine
Created a backup for reference purposes.
Created a patch, and web update. (v3.0.1)
Copied all files to web server.

Update is found, downloaded, and installs.

However, the EXE (and other changed DLLs) are not updated.
When I run the EXE I'm still using the v3.0.0 release.

Why would this occur?

I have the same problem. I've created a patch from version 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 and set it as a web update. After it has been installed and all changes have been made version of setup files remained 2.1.0.

Does anyone know where is the problem?

The only thing I've found out so far is that if the client installs from a full web install, then update patches work from the web very well.

If the client installs from a CD though, the web updates don't seem to work.

I was experiencing this same issue and just discovered that it was caused by building the patch from the command-line (via an automation script I am using). If I build the patch through the InstallAware Studio then it works fine.

I am not sure why it doesn't work from the command-line?

Hi there, I have the same problem. did you ever found a solution?
