Update loop in windows

Hi! I have no idea where i should report it, so i start here with the hope that somebody can help.

I have packaged my windows app with electron builder and i’m using Squirrel.Windows for auto-updates. I’ve put everything from the release to the FTP and set the URL properly. But now when I start the windows app its in an update loop. It downloads the 1.0.0 every time again.

Does someone has an idea how it happened?

Main app index.js (i ommited unreleated code)

if (require("electron-squirrel-startup")) {
    return;
}

app.on('ready', function() {
    // create new browserwindow

    // search for updates
    const updateFeed = os == "darwin" ? "https://HOST/updates/latest" : "https://HOST/releases/win32";

    const autoUpdater = require('auto-updater');
    autoUpdater.on("update-downloaded", function() {
        autoUpdater.quitAndInstall();
    });

    autoUpdater.setFeedURL(updateFeed + '?v=' + app.getVersion());
    autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();
});

I am building the windows distribution with OSX (Vine) with the following command: build --platform win32 --arch ia32

OSX is working fine.

It took me about 5 minutes to get OS X updates working… For Windows i spent a day to find out that it is because i only uploaded the x86 version… Yes i think its ok to generate it because its required.

I wrote a blog post about building and deploying app, and it supports both 32 and 64 versions of Win: http://electron.rocks/building-and-deploying-application/

Hope it helps, best, Vjeko
