Update Omaha (Brave's auto-updater on Windows) to 1.3.36.131

[mherrmann]

Description

Google released a new upstream version of this technology. We should update Brave to it as well to get the latest fixes.

Test plan

This change has the potential to break Brave's installers and entire update fleet on Windows. It is therefore very important to re-test these features once this issue is resolved. Please see brave/brave-core#11096 for a test plan.

Roll-out strategy

Please see brave/brave-core#11096

@MadhaviSeelam

Issue 1: Where did you see that error? I do see in the screenshot Ex1 that you have two copies of the updater installed: A copy just for your current Windows user and a copy for the entire machine. Which Case 1 are you referring to? There are multiple Case 1s mentioned in the comment you linked to.

Issue 2: The latest Brave version on the staging server is 1.36.39. Once you've received the latest updater from the staging server, you could delete UpdateDev\url again to try to obtain the latest Brave from prod.

[MadhaviSeelam]

@mherrmann Issue 2: Thanks for the suggestion. Deleting UpdateDev\url triggered Updates.
One other question was I didn't see Brave Update button as per Update notifications section - brave/brave-core#11096 (comment).
Brave Update button showed up in simulation.

Steps:

• Deleted UpdateDev\url in the registry
• Relaunched the browser
• At this point, expecting Brave Update button in the top-right? as per Update notifications section
  Rebase Omaha (=updater on Windows) to v1.3.36.111 brave-core#11096 (comment).
• Go to brave://settings/help and updates triggered and relaunch button showed up.
• Was able to upgrade to latest public release version .

1.39.96	1.36.39

[MadhaviSeelam]

@mherrmann Here are more detailed steps for Issue 1. The issue is scheduler doesn't run and Omaha updates are not happening in case of standalone silent installer only.

1. Uninstall all brave versions (all channels Dev, Release, Beta and Nightly) via Control panel
2. Uninstall existing Omaha version
3. Install standalone silent installer (1.39.96) OR (1.36.39)
4. Confirmed build is installed successfully, and version details are shown correctly in brave://settings/help
5. Confirmed that the old Omaha updater 1.3.361.113 is shown in the registry as expected
6. Go to brave://settings/help and wait for update and click on Relaunch and ensured brave is updated to the latest public beta version 1.41.82
7. After upgrade, Omaha version still shows 1.3.361.113 as expected
8. Configure your machine to pull updates from staging by setting the registry string value Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BraveSoftware\UpdateDev\url to https://updates.brave.com/service/update2
9. Kill all instances of BraveUpdate.exe, BraveCrashHandler.exe and BraveCrashHandler64.exe
10. Delete the registry value Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BraveSoftware\Update\LastChecked - if it exists
11. Run BraveSoftwareUpdateTaskMachineUA from the Windows Task Scheduler.

Actual Results: When I try to run the scheduler, nothin happens and eventually I see this error The system cannot find the file specified in the line item for BraveSoftwareUpdateTaskMachineUA

Ex1	Ex2	Ex3

[mherrmann]

@MadhaviSeelam Issue 2: I think the Brave Update button only appears after some time. I wouldn't expect it to show up immediately.

Issue 1:

Omaha can be installed just for the current user, or for the entire machine. If it's installed for the current user only, then you get BraveSoftwareUpdateTaskUser... in the Task Scheduler, registry entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\... and Omaha's files in %LOCALAPPDATA%. On the other hand, if it's installed for the entire machine, then you get BraveSoftwareUpdateTaskMachine... in the Task Scheduler, registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\... and Omaha's files in C:\Program Files (x86).

The steps you posted mention HKEY_CURRENT_USER - which would be for a per-user install of Omaha - but also BraveSoftwareUpdateTaskMachineUA - which is for a machine-wide install. My feeling is that the discrepancies you are experiencing come from the mix of the two. Furthermore, I believe the specific value ...\UpdateDev\url always needs to be set in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

I believe I would try to remove both the per-user and the per-machine install of Omaha from your system, then repeat any steps with either a machine- or user install. To make sure that all copies of Omaha were successfully uninstalled, you can check that there are no BraveSoftwareUpdate tasks of any kind in the Task Scheduler, there is no Update\Clients key for BraveSoftware in either HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and no BraveUpdate.exe in either %LOCALAPPDATA% and C:\Program Files (x86).

---

Thanks for all your help @mherrmann.

Issue 1: I am still not getting correct updater version 1.3.361.131 when I ran BraveSoftwareUpdateTaskUser... in the scheduler. I've requested @GeetaSarvadnya to take another look as she is validating on Win 10 x64.

Issue 2: I have waited for few minutes for Brave Update button to show but will re-test by waiting a day (check tomorrow morning)

---

@mherrmann - I looked at your notes again and I missed this part I believe the specific value ...\UpdateDev\urlalways needs to be set inHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.. That did the trick. Got the new updater version `1.3.361.133. All good now.
