AutoUpdater.NET copys files into wrong directory

[DavidWeider]

Hi!
The tool works but it copies the downloaded files into a subfolder of the installation path.

I has set the DownloadPath to Environment.CurrentDirectory --> NOK
After that i has set the DownloadPath as below.
But both solutions doesn't work.

AutoUpdater.ReportErrors = true;
AutoUpdater.RunUpdateAsAdmin = true;
var tt = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
var ttt = tt.Substring(0, tt.LastIndexOf("\\"));
AutoUpdater.DownloadPath = ttt;
AutoUpdater.Start(@"E:\GIT\MyTestApp\UpdateFile\updateFile.xml");

After i clicked "Update", the tool download the zip, extract this and copied the files to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HP Inc\Setup\Release
--> Setup = Directory where the app istalled.
--> Release = Directory after update, with the updated files.

Does your executable reside in the Release folder? It usually extracts the content into the folder where your executable resides.

Yes it does.
In this testproject i have zipped the release directory. This is in the xml linked.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<item>
<version>1.0.37.0</version>
<url>E:\GIT\MyTestApp\bin\Release.zip</url>
<mandatory>false</mandatory>
</item>

How does the updater work after download the zip?

It extracts the zip file in a folder where your executable resides. You can see it here. args[2] here contains your executable path.

OK!
That works. In this directory are the new files. But they aren't copied to the install folder...
(I run the app as admin)
i get no errors after update...

Please download the latest lib from here. I added the option to specify the installation path as shown here.
