Roll your own....

Post by fdscadmin » Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:49 pm

In an effort to deliver "patches" quickly to my facility I would like to install my own compiled version, but still be able to update through main. I have no desire to stray from the main branch, I just want to deploy these things faster. Will I run into any issues doing this?

One issue I have found so far is that when I click "Check for Updates" I get the error

"Error: Unable to connect to the remote server"

I don't see any problems as long as there are no database schema changes. I don't know why our server would be unavailable. Was this working for you in the past?

Definitely no db changes.

No, I have never tried this before. I am using VS C# Express if that makes any difference.

express should work fine...what exactly are you doing to inject your own compiled version into the update process? I always just run a batch script to copy the files over when they are started up in the morning from my compiled version...is there a better way (if you are not a paying member) to update?

Well I'm still stuck on this. I don't know why it can't update. Can anyone else compile and then update?

I'm going to guess you're using the debug instead of release, because in debug, there's a different server URL which of course would be invalid for you.
