Generating versionInfoURL

Süleyman Yasir KULA edited this page Jul 15, 2019 · 4 revisions

SimplePatchTool fetches an xml file called VersionInfo.info from the server of your choice while checking for updates or applying patches. Obviously, SimplePatchTool needs to know where this file is hosted/will be hosted so that it can fetch it from there. Thus, you should first upload a dummy VersionInfo to where you'd like to host the real VersionInfo at:

Hosting VersionInfo on Google Drive™

  1. create an empty text file called VersionInfo.info on your computer
  2. upload the file to your Drive
  3. right click the uploaded file and select "Get shareable link". Use the provided URL as versionInfoURL
Hosting VersionInfo on Dropbox™

  1. create a dummy text file called VersionInfo.info on your computer
  2. upload the file to your Dropbox, then select the file and click Share
  3. click the Create a link button and copy the share link
  4. replace the ?dl=0 part at the end of the share link with ?dl=1
  5. use the updated share link (with ?dl=1) as versionInfoURL
Hosting VersionInfo on a custom server

  1. create an empty text file called VersionInfo.info on your computer
  2. upload the file to the server and make it public
  3. use the download link of the file as versionInfoURL
