Auto updater problems on windows

[razvanstatescu]

• electron-builder Version: ^22.5.1
• electron-updater Version: ^4.3.1

• Electron Version: ^8.2.2

• Target: Windows

I have a public repo on GitHub where I publish my updates. In the electron app I just use:
autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify();
When I try to update I get:

Cannot parse blockmap "...", error: incorrect header check, raw data: ...

I tried to set
"nsis": { "differentialPackage": false }
in order to disable the generation of blockmap files. But now I get

Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download: Error: Cannot download ".....blockmap", status 404: Not Found

Any idea on how to make this work? Thanks!

@codewaseem @b-zurg @razvanstatescu Hi, try this module electron-differential-updater.. it is built on top of electron-builder and help u with the fix.
It also has differential update for mac also.

Hi, had same issue with vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder in a vue + typescript project. And updating electron-updater to 4.3.4 (prerelease) solved it for me. The fix is there 😀 Working example: privacy.sexy

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

On the latest release block maps are working for me again
