We are trying to switch our PB deploy app process using github like other apps (non powerbuilder). Has anyone done this before - using Github? If so I could use some help with the steps. There is a squirrel.dll that I am supposed to reference. Any idea on how to do that? I am told the referencing will lead to knowing whether a new version is available of install etc, etc. Researching I came across the code below in C#. Is there a way I can call this in PB or convert it to Powerscript? I am using Powerbuilder 2017 R2.
//////////////////
private void InstallUpdateSync()
{
if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
{
Boolean updateAvailable = false;
ApplicationDeployment ad = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;
try
{
updateAvailable = ad.CheckForUpdate();
}
catch (DeploymentDownloadException dde)
{
// This exception occurs if a network error or disk error occurs
// when downloading the deployment.
MessageBox.Show("The application cannt check for the existence of a new version at this time. \n\nPlease check your network connection, or try again later. Error: " + dde);
return;
}
catch (InvalidDeploymentException ide)
{
MessageBox.Show("The application cannot check for an update. The ClickOnce deployment is corrupt. Please redeploy the application and try again. Error: " + ide.Message);
return;
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ioe)
{
MessageBox.Show("This application cannot check for an update. This most often happens if the application is already in the process of updating. Error: " + ioe.Message);
return;
}
if (updateAvailable)
{
try
{
ad.Update();
MessageBox.Show("The application has been upgraded, and will now restart.");
Application.Restart();
}
catch (DeploymentDownloadException dde)
{
MessageBox.Show("Cannot install the latest version of the application. Either the deployment server is unavailable, or your network connection is down. \n\nPlease check your network connection, or try again later. Error: " + dde.Message);
}
catch (TrustNotGrantedException tnge)
{
MessageBox.Show("The application cannot be updated. The system did not grant the application the appropriate level of trust. Please contact your system administrator or help desk for further troubleshooting. Error: " + tnge.Message);
}
}
}
