Add-in Auto Update
Application will no longer update on users machines

Our Outlook add-in will no longer update automatically. I have tried to recreate the setup and start over but it still does not want to update. I also had the check for update button as per your code which used to work but that also does not seem to work. I have multiple users which makes this feature invaluable to my organization. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ** I went over the tutorials over and over again without any success. Thanks

Hello Andrew,

I assume you use ClickTwice; is that correct? What did you do before this occurred?

Yes ClickTwice. I think it was just version numbering if anything. I was just living with manual updates but its becoming a hassle now as users are added.

That is, you try to switch to automatic updates, correct?

The updates were working in the beginning and stopped over time. I had users click the update button as per your example and it would update the application. It would also provide a notification to the user by checking automatically. I feel it may have been something with the version number that might have caused issues. Is there any way to reset setup and start fresh? I have tried but all the legacy versions keep showing.

Thanks,

Andrew

If you run the installer of the new version directly, does it work or not?

Sorry for the delay. So I get the following error if I link the the new version and try to install:


Failed to check the signature of version_info_xml .... Task name ParseXML

I'm using a EV Document Signing Certificate now since all others cause multiple warnings on our systems.

Thanks,

Hello Andrew,

Alas, I don't understand what you did and what you do. Could you please provide details? At what stage are you now? If something doesn't work, I need to know what doesn't work and in what way: maybe, you have exceptions,calls tack, system log records, Add-in Express log files, other messages or screenshots.

What warnings do you get? I need to know whether this is important or not. As far as I know we may have some issue with your using EV certificates so I wonder whether you used ClickTwice wizard to sign the installer.
