Electron-builder: nsis-web differential update fails

Created on 7 Dec 2017  ·  16Comments  ·  Source: electron-userland/electron-builder


  • Version: 19.48.2

  • Updater Version: 2.17.0

  • Target: Win NSIS-Web (x64 & ia32)


Differential update now always fails, can't say for sure when it started happening. The fallback full update works.

All I did for this test is change the version number, updater and electron-builder versions were not changed in between.

Checking for update

@HitomiTenshi electron-updater version?

@mateullull It is unrelated error. Fixed in 2.17.3 for S3. What provider do you use?

@mateullull It is unrelated error. Fixed in 2.17.3 for S3. What provider do you use?

It's GitHub Releases provider.
I have this versions:

"electron-updater": "2.17.2",
"electron-builder": "19.48.3",
makurtu picture makurtu on 9 Dec 2017

@develar I stated it in the issue at the top Updater Version: 2.17.0
Maybe I should've written electron-updater version, sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

@develar I tried electron-updater 2.17.3 and the same error still happens:

@HitomiTenshi Working on it. Will be investigated and fixed if need this week.

develar picture develar on 11 Dec 2017

@develar no rush, take your time.

Same issue version 2.16.2 electron-updater. electron-builder 19.28.2

marcusjwhelan picture marcusjwhelan on 11 Dec 2017

blockMapFileData was reported as is (any) and used as is, but after implementing AppImage update, type was changed from json string to raw deflate buffer.

develar picture develar on 12 Dec 2017

@develar can you re-open this issue? I'm getting the same error on electron-updater - 2.18.2 and electron-builder - 19.53.6

I don't know. I still need to repro this on electron-updater - v2.21.4. Can you give us a little bit info about your Windows system and electron-builder's config?

I found that changing the permissions of the package.7z file to full control for everyone fixes it and then differential download works fine. By default it's set to "special permissions"

zhaoterryy picture zhaoterryy on 27 Mar 2018

@zhaoterryy same thing happening here. Did you find a programatic solution as opposed to changing the permissions from the s3 console?

Unfortunately not, decided on using generic provider instead of s3. It would be cool if this was fixed but it's only a slight inconvenience.

Also, when I said full control/special permissions, I was talking about Windows user permissions not s3.

@akashnimare @zhaoterryy
I have same issue like you people. Is this fixed?

FYI:
I used generic option only

Tested both in window 7 and 10

Configuration in my package.json
"build": { "productName": "FluidArchitect", "appId": "app.FluidArchitect", "win": { "target": "nsis-web", "icon": "http://192.168.3.149:8080/resources/appIcon.ico", "publish": { "provider": "generic", "useMultipleRangeRequest": false, "url": "http://na01-tfs02:8080/beta/nsis-web/", "channel": "latest" } }, "nsisWeb": { "artifactName": "${productName}-Setup-${version}.exe", "oneClick": false, "perMachine": true, "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true, "runAfterFinish": true, "deleteAppDataOnUninstall": true, "differentialPackage": true, "createDesktopShortcut": true } }

Here is one more observation
When there is only one user(Administrator) it's working absolutely fine.

But if I we have two users like Administrator and Madhu Kudala, If you are logged in as Madhu Kudala and Installed the app with Run as Administrator or Normally. Then it has problem Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open C:\Program Files\xxx\package.7z

If you guys find any solution(Programmatically) please help me to fix this.

Thank you.
