Hello, I'm creating installers for my current project (online and offline) with Qt Installer Framework 1.5. The installer works, but I'm having problems with using the installer to install updates.
I have these issues: [1] when running the offline or online installer again for a new version, it won't automatically detect that it's updating existing software. Instead, it will complain about the target directory already existing. [2] In 'programs and features' in Windows, opening the uninstaller also gives you the option to look for updates. When I actually put an update on the repository URL, the installer does nothing when I press next. When there is no update, it does know enough to say 'no updates available'. So, how do I make my installer update-aware? I case of [1], is it a matter of scripting an uninstall of the old version? If so, how :)? And, another issue: how best to implement a self-updater in the software I'm making? Simply download the XML from the repository URL and if there is an update, download and run the offline or online installer?
