Hi there

I'm testing the ClickTwice update procedure and think I'm doing everything right - I think... :)

Using this code in my Outlook 2016 addin, for now when pressing a button 
    Private Sub CheckForUpdates()
        'ClickOnce check updates
        If AddinModule.IsNetworkDeployed Then
            AddinModule.CheckForUpdates()
        Else
            MsgBox("Not ClickOnce deployed")
        End If

        'ClickTwice check updates
        If (AddinModule.IsMSINetworkDeployed And AddinModule.IsMSIAutoUpdateEnabled) Then
            Dim updateUrl As String = AddinModule.CheckForMSIUpdates()
            If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(updateUrl) Then
                AddinModule.LaunchMSIUpdates(updateUrl)
            Else
                MsgBox("MSI Updatepath has no updates (" & updateUrl & ")")
            End If
        Else
            MsgBox("MSI deployment status" & vbCrLf & "MSI Deployed: " & AddinModule.IsMSINetworkDeployed & vbCrLf & "MSI Updatable: " & AddinModule.IsMSIAutoUpdateEnabled)
        End If
    End Sub


Problem is that 
AddinModule.IsMSINetworkDeployed
and 
AddinModule.IsMSIAutoUpdateEnabled
return false even though I'm installing from the website and using the exe file (downloader I think it is)

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Dan,

Did you unregister the add-in in Visual Studio before you install it using the downloader?
After you installed the add-in via ClickTwice, the adxloader.dll.manifest file should contain the 'msi' section. Otherwise, the IsMSINetworkDeployed function returns 'false'. IsMSIAutoUpdateEnabled returns true if you configured the add-in (in the Publish wizard) to use the auto update feature of ClickTwice.

I haven't installed it on my PC at all. I'm testing deployment from web on a remote desktop server.
I only run the addin to debug on my PC.

Ok, now I know what to look for, will get back to you

Auto update is set and all settings about quiet mode are off. Updater should check every time host application runs.

After I publish new version I checked the adxloader.dll.manifest file and there is nothing about MSI, mainly signing.

Hi Dan,

When the updater application is started you should see the '<add-in name>.updater.exe' file running in Task Manager.
Do you install the add-in via .exe file (<add-in name>.exe) of ClickTwice installation?

I use the exe file. Updater application is never startet because 
AddinModule.IsMSINetworkDeployed
returns false

Hi Dan,

Please send me a link of your installation by email. I will test it on my PC.

Well seems my real problem is that I created my own setup project and used this when deploying. Problem was that I got errors about not being able to load microsoft.xrm.sdk when creating setup project in Add-in Express. I'll create new thread for this. This one is really about another problem.
