nsis-web differential update fails

See original GitHub issue

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

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

FYI: I used generic option only Versions: electron : 2.0.2 electron-builder : 20.15.1 electron-updater : 2.21.10

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.

@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
