Hello,

i want to add this new app to Ketarin, but i get this error : 

Regedix    The downloaded file is not a binary file type (text/html; charset=UTF-8). Possibly there is an error page. Status code: 200 (OK) (https://regedix.webrox.fr/download.php?v=1.0.1&file=1.0.1/Regedix_installer-1.0.1-x64.exe)

I understand the issue comes from the url, but i don't know how to solve it... can tou help me ?

Website : https://regedix.webrox.fr/

Download url : https://regedix.webrox.fr/download.php?v={version}&file={version}/Regedix_installer-{version}-x64.exe

Thank you !

Hi,

try something like this:

 

Variable: version
Contents from URL: https://regedix.webrox.fr
Use regular expression: (?<=Regedix_installer-)([0-9.\-]{2,})(?=.exe)

Variable: download
Contents from URL: https://regedix.webrox.fr
Use regular expression: (download.php[^']*\.exe)

Variable: url
Textual content: https://regedix.webrox.fr/{download}

@thelimpIn response to the question, "why doesn't just replacing the version number work", I suspect the reason is that in two of the version replacements it uses the version number and "major.minor.patch.build" and in one of them it uses only "major.minor.patch". You could try to anticipate this and fiddle with the version number in the download URL, but in these cases I find it is better to just collect the real download URL directly from the site as @necrox did in the previous comment. You never know when the author will change link behavior and use the full version number or an abbreviated number in one or another place.

You are definitely right! Thanks for the hint.
