Arg! Appsync + MSI = FAIL :(

$

Hey guys, im getting a bit frustrated w/ this whole appsync thing.. hopeing to get some help.

 

 

I'm using Thinapp 4.6 / View 4.5. I can't get an installed MSI on a VM to update it's self w/ the newer version of the thinapp i've created.

 

 

In my Package.ini I have this:

 

 

;----


MSI Parameters -


;Enable MSIFilename if you want to generate a Windows Installer package.

MSIFilename=Crystal Reports 9 - SP7 - Win7.msi

MSIManufacturer=Unknown

MSIProductVersion=1.1

MSIDefaultInstallAllUsers=1

MSIRequireElevatedPrivileges=1

MSIInstallDirectory=Crystal Reports 9 - SP7 - Win7 (VMware ThinApp)

MSIProductCode={3EF2E176-1764-63D8-DAB1-19E59DF5BC67}

MSIUpgradeCode={840A7263-F2C5-0996-D901-6EA652B1B6C4}

MSIStreaming=0

MSICompressionType=Fast

 

;----


AppSync Parameters -


AppSyncURL=
corcsvr01\ThinApps\Crystal Reports 9 - SP7 - Win7\bin\Crystal Reports 9.exe

AppSyncUpdateFrequency=0

;AppSyncExpirePeriod=30d

;AppSyncWarningPeriod=5d

;AppSyncWarningFrequency=1d

;AppSyncWarningMessage=This application will become unavailable for use in %remaining_days% day(s) if it cannot contact its update server. Check your network connection to ensure uninterrupted service.

;AppSyncExpireMessage=This application has been unable to contact its update server for %expire_days% day(s), so it is unavailable for use. Check your network connection and try again.

;AppSyncUpdatedMessage=

;AppSyncClearSandboxOnUpdate=0

 

 

The MSI that I have installed was installed while  MSIProductVersion=1.0. So I made a change to the Thinapp, updated the version and rebuilt it.

 

 

My understanding of the whole thing is when I launch the installed MSI it would realize it's out of date and go update itself.. but it doesnt. Is this not the point of Appsync? Am I missing something?

 

 

I have AppSyncUpdateFrequency=0 because one of the VMWare blog posts says this forces an immediate update..

 

 

Thanks for any help!
