That error is due to not having an update manifest in the mar and implies
that the update mar wasn't generated with a manifest.

Subject: Application "MAR-file" auto Update not working from 29.0 to
29.0.1

Hi,

This is my first post in this forum so please let me know if anything is
wrong.

I have been working on a desktop application named "AZARDI" which is based
on xulrunner. It is an offline ePub Reader for all three major platforms
(Windows, Mac, Linux). You can check it out at
http://azardi.infogridpacific.com/.

I have been deploying the application successfully with xulrunner 29.0 and
earlier along with the mar auto-update. Now I want to deploy it with
xulrunner 29.0.1 and thats when I am facing the problem. The mar
auto-update thing seems not to be working across all the platforms. Once
the mar-update is downloaded and I restart the application, the updates
didn't get applied and when I went on to check the last-update.log, this
is what I found:


SOURCE DIRECTORY
C:\Users\$USER$\AppData\Local\....\.....\....\....\updates\0
DESTINATION DIRECTORY C:\Program Files\infogridpacific\AZARDI
DoUpdate: error extracting manifest file
failed: 6
calling QuitProgressUI



Does anyone know if there is any change in auto-update strategy after
xulrunner 29.0 ? And is there any other solution to the above problem?

Any help will be useful.

Thanks in advance.
