I transitioned my mba code to model the WixBA UpdateViewModel code in wix 3.9.720. Initially it detected the latest new update and appeared to work as expected. However the more I play with it I seem to run into a problem multiple times. I am still a little unsure of how I get to this problem, but I think it is as follows.
Create Bundle A, move to test box. Create Bundle B, stage to web site. Launch Bundle A, and after checking 'Update Available' is indicated. (Also in the log the message fro DetectUpdate indicating a 'Potential update' is available. (At this point one can either exit Bundle A or apply the new update. I am not entirely sure of the relationship to the following, but I think exiting is probably more related.) Create Bundle C, and stage to web site. Launch Fiddler to watch the http traffic. Launch Bundle A. Fiddler shows a feed to Bundle C was retrieved. Bundle A shows 'Up to date'. The log does not have the DetectUpdate log message "Potential update..." I have seen this behavior both in a first time install (but I think always after a bundle was previously launched) and in a maintenance scenario with Uninstall, Repair, and 'Up to Date' (even though the feed shows a newer version). My atom feed has the bundle size in it, otherwise it is same as wix39 feed. I tried setting the bundle size to zero in the feed and that did not impact this behavior. On another note, unrelated to the above, I need to figure out how to modify the feed Url prior to downloading the feed at runtime. I had this working in the old code, but I don't see where to do this as the feed appears to have been downloaded by the time the event handlers are fired.
