#5 The application is not updated by updatehm.exe in Windows 10 x64

[Miguel Alberto Risco-Castillo]

Hi, thank you for your great work.
I did follow all the steps for setup the autoupdater mode for la auto update. The updates files were created with the update pack application and then uploaded to sourceforge. Then my application start, a dialog shows an update is available and then downloads it. The files are downloaded and unpacked correctly, a dialog ask for start the update and then the application close itself, maybe to launch the updatehm.exe (there is not source code for updatehm.exe) nothing more happen. Maybe there is some problem with updatehm.exe, the program folder have the appropriate permissions.
The S.O. is Windows 10 x64

Hi Miguel,
My Windows 10 dev machine is out of action until at least the beginning of November. I suspect the problem is about folder permissions, as I have had similar problems with Lazarus and Windows 10.
The UpdateHM source code is here: http://sourceforge.net/p/lazautoupdate/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/updatehmsource/

UpdateHM is a command-line driven application. You can try running it in a DOS box (use -h to see the options) to see whether it has a problem running under Win 10. Other than that, I will have to look at it in November.

Hi Gordon,
Because the application is not in a "Program Files" type folder, I do not need administrator rights to change the contents of the application folder, then I was able to modify execution level in the project options of updatehm to "as invoker". All is ok now.

Finally, there is a problem between the option "highest available" and Windows 10.

Hi Miguel,
Excellent fault-finding - thank you!
I'll update the updatehm project as you suggest.
