[wix-users] Wix Bundle Exepackage DownloadUrl Ftp not working

Hmm ok I found the following source which said that ftp is supported:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17785382/wix-bootstrapper-downloadurl-can-it-be-a-local-network-path

But sourcecode doesn't lie :-)

I now use a workaround which use the http protocol for the ftp-server:
http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/CPAN/modules/by-module/...

Thanks for the lookup in sourcecode.

I think the protocol choices are http (using wininet) or bits, from looking at DownloadPayload() in src\burn\engine\apply.cpp

Hi,

are there any limitations to using a ftp download url in the ExePackage?
I tried several ftps and none are working: e.g:

... Error 0x80072ef2: Failed to acquire payload from: 'ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/CPAN/modules/by-module/Perl/Perl-Dist-WiX-0.170.readme' to working path: ...

http urls worked fine.

Thanks for any hints,
Benny
