Need Help on Web Update

[VJ123]

Hello All,

Glad to join this discussion forum.

We have created web update using TrueUpdate 2.0 and worked fine.
Now for testing purpose, we have set up IIS on our machine and created a virtual directory, that points to the web update files (stored locally).

Now when we click on check for updates from our application, it is not downloading and installing the patch (patch is available for the installed application).

I have properly congifure the host file to represent the machine's IP where the virtual server is configured.

I am not sure where i am going wrong.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,
VJ

what do the logs show?
is the trueupdate exe configured to look to thelocal server?


Did you use the wizard to create the scripts or did you customize it?

If you are using IIS and the client is failing to get the server scripts (I am assuming that this is the problem), It might be a problem with MIME types in IIS. If you add .ts1, .ts2 and .ts3 to your MIME types in IIS and it will let you access the files.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, I have added an entry in the host file to map the Virtual Server's IP address.

I have added the MIME Types also.

I just found the problem. I think Proxy server is blocking the access to the Server address. If i add the server address in the Internet Options -> under the Proxy settings list, the application is able to access the Virtual Server files.

Is this the solution for my problem? Can anyone pls confirm.

Thanks
