Configure Release Note URL at Runtime?

[haralds]

We are leaving some older versions of Windows behind and our TrueUpdate setup is becoming more complex based on the OS version the client is running on.

Is there a way to control the Release Note URL from a script?

Where is the URL to the release notes being used? Can you give an example, as it is unclear what you are attempting to do?

In TrueUpdate, the Release Notes show up with the announcement that there is a release. You can only configure one of them. We would like different notes for different OS versions, since they each will pull different updates,

It is still not clear, but I am guessing that you created a screen, perhaps based on the "Web Site" or "Update Available" templates, where you somehow show or linkt to these release notes, as there is nothing with this name directly available in TrueUpdate. If this is the case, then you can customize the text shown on these screens at runtime, using Session Variables on them, or explicitly setting the texts with DlgStaticText.SetProperties() or DlgScrollingText.SetProperties(), for example. I don't know where or how this release notes URL is being shown, but you can be sure that it can be set, via script, and link the correct URL for the local version found on the computer.

You could open a support ticket in the Customer Portal, and attach your current project file, so I can understand better what you do and point you where you would need to add an "if ... then ... else ... end" to define the proper URL.

Just solved it. I did not realize you could add to the screen - duh...
I just check for the OS version and do a Screen.next() until I reach the one I need.
