DownloadPage.Add 403 Forbidden

[Pat Sinclair]

Greetings:

I am trying to figure out how to download zips (contain updated library files) from a sharepoint server.

I am always receiving a Exception Download failed: 403 FORBIDDEN error.

the entry I am adding looks "something" like this:

DownloadPage.Add('https://blahblahblah.sharepoint.com/blah/folder%20store/file%20name.zip', ' file name.zip ', '');

in the [Files] section I have

Source: "{tmp}\file name.zip"; DestDir:"{tmp}"; Flags: external

What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Try downloading the same file with a browser in a private (incognito) window first.

A file that is downloaded at installation time should not be in the [Files] section, it should be downloaded then processed by the code.

More, your entry is a non-sense:

Source: "{tmp}\file name.zip"; DestDir:"{tmp}"; Flags: external

It says to get a file from {tmp} directory to write in the same  {tmp} directory!

Tips for download are on the DownloadTemporaryFile help page. Particularly, the 403 Forbidden error means that an authentication is needed, which you don't provide in your URL... Check the syntax in the indicated help page...
