Hello, we're trying to use Applinks and SideBySide together. I can only get it to read the base DAT file of any RequriedApplinks parameter (or OptionalAppLinks).
For example:
BaseApp.exe
BaseApp.dat
Applink1.dat
Applink1.dat.1
RequiredAppLinks=Applink1.dat
I cannot get it to recognize Applink1.dat.1 is there. I've tried Applink1.1 as well, and I've tried changing RequiredApplinks to Applink1.* as well, to no avail.
Background:
We have a main application (BaseApp.exe) and about 70 "modules", which are a series of DLL's, which are updated frequently (a module is updated every day). When a module is updated, I just want to update a child DAT file, not the entire multi-gigabyte package. From a version control standpoint, it is simply too messy. I cannot tell by looking at BaseApp.dat which module was updated. By using AppLinks, I can, but if we cannot update Applinks without replacing the DAT file, it's fairly pointless.
