Versions (Web Updates and Analytics )

The Versions page allows you to broadcast update packs defined in the Update Packs page to copies of your application already installed on the field.

Your edits to this page are written immediately to an updates.ini file, which is saved in your project folder. You may also manually edit this regular INI-format file. This INI file will also be copied to your build output location every time you execute a build.

At runtime, setup attempts to download this file from the location specified in the Monitor URL field of the Project Properties page to determine if updates are available for your application. Of course, the Receive Application Updates check-box must be checked in the Project Properties page for setup to check for application updates.

Defining an Application Version

To define an application version, follow these steps:

1. Click the Add button. The New Application Version dialog box appears.
2. Enter an application version in the Version field. This value must be identical to the version number displayed in the Product Version field of the Project Properties page for the already installed versions of your application on the field that you want to update.
3. Click OK to accept your changes.

Serving Update Packs for an Application Version

To choose the update packs that are served for an application version:

1. Select the application version to receive the packs under the Application Versions heading.
2. Check the packs you wish to broadcast to this application version under the Update Packs Served for Selected Version heading.
3. If necessary, use the Up and Down buttons to re-order the order in which packs will be installed.

Removing an Application Version

To remove a previously defined application version:

1. Select the application version to remove under the Application Versions heading.
