[wix-users] What server should be used to distribute application patches and updates?

[Wally Wojciechowski]

I am working on a similar project currently. We have been evaluating many different technologies including Squirrel and WyUpdate. We currently use Chocolatey for internal updates from build to build but the missing piece we found for larger rollout was the ability to push that an update is available. I am curious to see what options others are using in a world where we want to follow best practices with WiX and have a quality install yet work through a CI/CD model where RE is not a bottleneck.

Hi,
We use an in house IIS website with our updates on it and scale it out with aws cloudfront.

We use https://www.indigorose.com/trueupdate/ to manage the update process but we are on the lookout for something simpler and Unicode based as it's a pain to localize.

Hi,
We are looking forward to setup some server to distribute application patches, updates and upgrades. Our applications would be checking for their updates by querying this server.
Presently, developers here are considering Chocolatey, and just rejected Squirrel for windows due to its narrow scope.

How is this being done in the world generally with best practices?

Would really appreciate any guide/help...

Thanks
