Hi,
I am working on an update site for my RCP app and I ran into a problem
where I need your help:
My app consists of 3 features: core, basic_tool, advanced_tool
core: holds the application
basic_tool: an extension which is optional
advanced_tool: another optional extension. this feature includes feature
basic_tool
now a user installs basic_tool - which works
Some time later all features get updated on the update site.
Now when the user tries to install advanced_tool, he would require to
update basic_tool too (as installer reports a conflicting dependency
between the old version of basic_tool and the new one to be installed)
If the user updates basic_tool beforehand, everything works as expected.
Is there a way that the update is done automatically when advanced_tool is
selected? I don't want the user to take care of this (as it gets far more
complex in reality).
thanks
Christian

Christian,
I'm not sure, but I think you should change feature "advanced_tool" to
require "basic_tool" instead of including it.
(See "dependencies" page of the feature manifest editor).
