WeiDU 249 and autoupdate

[Salk]

Hello!

I am installing some mods and I noticed that the auto-update function is not working well for me as in it doesn't ever complete properly. I have to close the window. When I run the updated .exe again, it does seem like the update was successful though.

This is the latest attempt:

Are you only having this problem with setup-files that themselves need to be updated? What's supposed to happen in that case is that WeiDU tries to re-launch itself, with the new process replacing the existing one. From the log trail, it seems like maybe this is happening, but that something goes wrong in the new process. Unfortunately, this is not something I am able to reproduce myself, so I don't know what would be going wrong. FWIW, the fall-back solution for the re-launch not working is telling the user to do it manually.

Hello, Wisp!

Thanks for your help. The one peculiar thing is that the auto update chokes on setup-bgqe.exe. It is interesting because that .exe file, setup-c#endlessbg1.exe and setup-thecalling.exe have a different size than all other modifications' .exes (1,333 Kbs for those three vs 1,147 Kbs for all the others). One thing I can do when I install the next modification is to replace the setup-bgqe.exe with the differently sized exe and see if it still chokes then I will report to you, of course.

Dependent on when you downloaded the packages, bgqe, EndlessBG1 (I don't know about The Calling) use AL|EN's auto tool for mod packaging which uses the most recent weidu version - I do not know which one though (as there are different exes), this is something that should/could be asked AL|EN (yes I'm totally putting the blame).

Hello again!

Yes, it was as I suspected. I replaced the setup-bgqe.exe file and now the auto-updating chokes in the next .exe that shared the same size (setup-c#endlessbg1.exe). I can contact AL|EN about this because I guess your suspicion is correct, jastey.

@Salk That would be great! Thanks in advance.

A different auto-update bug--this was posted on Discord. Looks like the auto-update fails if the setup program has spaces in its name.

Will be fixed in next version.
