I'm trying to use WD's built in setup instead of a 3rd party installer. I want my app to be hosted on our http server with automatic updates. I successfully created the deployment installer and deployed to our server. When I go to the http address specified I am able to download the installer.

The issue is that the installer downloaded is the same installer I used to deploy the Installer on our server. There are two options, Deploy the setup on this computer and Deploy the setup at a hosting company. Hosting company was the option I chose to deploy on our server. Deploy the setup on this computer has options for HTTP server and defaults to an install directory that is not ProgramFiles, which I set when creating the installer.

What do I need to do to make the downloaded installer simple for our end users with no option to deploy?

In the setup wizard I've chosen:
Setup by HTTP
Create a deployment package

-----------------------------
Extra Credit:
On the html page for downloading the installer, there are missing keywords. For instance the text of the download button is [%BOUTON%]. I fixed it by modifying the generated html files. Can I fix this issue beforehand so I don't always have to edit the html? The 3 instances of this are below.

[% TITRETEXTE%]
[%BOUTON%]
[%IMGLOGO%]

Hi Curtis,

I used to use the buildt in live update, but I skipped it, because for me it was not stable.

I did my own based on a Soap Service.
This was done in one working day, and I included also a license management.
So for example a program can be locked if a customer does not pay his maintanance contract or I can release or block functions according to the purchased license.

Best Regards


Stefan.

Thanks Stefan. I really want to get this working though.

I figured out that if I use the original exe supplied with WDSetup (WDSetup.exe) everything works. However if I recompile that exe, without making any changes, it breaks things. I'm only using the 32bit version. The html page is missing text, and the downloaded installer is the http deployer instead of the simple client installer.
