Scenario:

I managed to deploy my application which is feature-based with P2 and I've been trying to enable automatic update on my application, however when I pressed the "check for updates", "Install New Software" and "Installation Information" it tells me "Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configured properly for software updates".

Here are my questions:

1. Does this problem reside in my deployed product configuration or the update site ?

2. I've tried to install the product by using p2installer which suppose to download everything from my update site (includes the .exe files,etc). However after the download completes I only see "plugin" folder and artifact.xml in my new folder, nothing else. Can anyone help me with this ?

Thank you for your time and help

Regards,

Mustafa

You need to add p2 metadata to your application. See this link for details:

My old update site was working fine. Now I added installer.properties file in it, however I still can't make it work.

1. What other files or folder should included there ?
2. Do I need to generate metadata for both update site and my deployed application ?
3. Do I need to merge the p2-enabled into update site ?

Thank you.
