10,000 Dollar Question -

[RichardC]

I have got TrueUpdate up and running, but there is one question which I must ask which determines whether or not we can incorporate TrueUpdate into our product.

Here it is:
Can the file server locations, which seems to me to be only definable at build time, can somehow be passed or defined at runtime? This is required because the server file locations will not be under our control and therefore not known until our product application is installed by our customers. This effectively excludes us from including this information at client build time. If we can somehow pass information by prepopulating the registry, using an exposed API, or other means, then we can use TrueUpdate.

Otherwise, we will need to develop this functionality in-house which would be very depressing to me..... Please say that this is possible... Your answer on this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you...

What you can do is use a variable as the URL of an HTTP server file location. Then go to the Variables tab and make a variable that reads the actaul URL from a certain Registry key. Then you just have to make sure that Registry key is created and filled in before the update is run on the client's system. Is that what you are looking for?

That is exactly what I needed!! I completely missed this feature of the client application. I am soooo happy!!! Thanks for the quick response!!!
