How to ensure updates are in a given order
Does flexnet have an ability to guarantee the order in which updates are run? For example, if I have three updates, A, B, and C that each depend on the previous one being run(A should be run before B and B before C), how can I accomplish this in flexnet? I see the concept of "run last" or "run first" but this would not be sufficient when you have 4 updates for example.

Unfortunately, FNC does not have that level of granularity when deploying updates. You could always invoke these types of updates manually through invoking the FNC APIs within your application, but otherwise the only details we expose right now are whether to run an update first or last.
Of course, if updates 2 & 3 out of 4 don't need to be in a specific order then you're all set.

You can actually set conditions for update B to make sure that B is shown only when something (e.g. a registry key) installed by update A presents. Hope this helps.
