[govi2010]

Is anyone maintaining this project? because I have not heard anything from anyone ?
I am ready to contribute if there is something need to be fixed.

[govi2010]

@develar can you guide me on this issue , So we can get this fixed if that is bug ?

[develar]

electron-updater 3.4.0

[ronsc]

@govi2010 @develar How to fixed this issue ? Thx.

[theotherdon]

@ronsc I'm encountering a similar error and trying to figure out how to fix it. I saw that there was another error before this one that appears to be related to this. The solution doesn't seem applicable to me as I'm not using nuts, but maybe it will help you out.

[ronsc]

@DoNalD-S Thx for advised.

This issue still exists with electron-updater 4.3.4.
I see in the AppData Folder, that it had downloaded the exe correctly and renamed it correctly. Running it a second time it works just fine, the difference then, 2 exes are created like this:

• 0-temp-....
  -temp-....

I do not see a n electron-updater 3.4.0 release nor do I see in the changelog that this issue has been fixed.

We are running angular on electron we are implementing our own httpExecutor, because we cannot make use of electronHttpExecutor. Therefore the DifferentialDownloader does not work correctly, but that should not be a problem. It correctly logs the following error:
NsisUpdater.js:315 Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download.

I do not think this might be the causing issue, since the error happens with EXE which is so small, that it does not need to be downloaded differential.

[NisStrom]

Found the issue:

The error happens if autoUpdater.autoDownlad is true (which is default). It downloads the exe already on checkForUpdate and renames it then. It however does not download the package.7z. Hence, we still need to call autoUpdater.downloadUpdate(). This then tries t rename the exe again but it has already been done before.

It seems autoDownload is for NSIS only, if usins NSIS-Web autoDownload has to be false.

@NisStrom can you show us how to disable it?

[kylefoo]

@NisStrom can you show us how to disable it?

autoUpdater.autoDownload = false;
should do it
