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My understanding of the whole thing is when I launch the installed MSI it would realize it's out of date and go update itself..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!
