FMSAUC_FindPlugIn always returns -1

March 26, 200817 yr

Having a problem with Auto Update. This has worked for me before, so I'm not sure why it isn't now...

Assuming the Auto Update path is right:

C:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker ServerDataDataBasesAutoUpdatezippScript2.0zippScript.fmplugin.tar

C:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker ServerDataDataBasesAutoUpdatezippScript2.0zippScript.fmx



I make the call in a nice simple script:


Set Variable [$remoteVersion; Value: FMSAUC_FindPlugIn("zippScript")]

Show Custom Dialog ["Version= " & $remoteVersion]

The script consistently displays:

Version= -1

In fact, for any of the plug ins I have on the server I get -1, so it would appear to not be something special about zippScript.

The clients are both Mac and Win FM 9.0v3 (Pro and Advanced).

The server is FMS 9, running on Windows Server 2003.

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?

(Yes, I know zippScript v2.2 is the latest, but this is an existing production environment I don't want to mess with right now by changing the plugin version).
