Automatic Updater with Access

[Arun]

Which GUID should i use in code either Application GUID or Wybuild GUID ? Because here this GUID only relate with wyUpdate it seems.

[Wyatt]

If you're using the AutomaticUpdaterBackend in a service then set the GUID to something like "yourcomanyname-yourproductname".

Iam using one drive to download updates for windows service application.While running windows service iam getting below error:
Title: Unable to check for updates, the server file failed to load.
Message: Error trying to save file: Error downloading: Access to the path is denied.

I gave exact path of .wyu file.

[Wyatt]

Where are you saving the file to? Do you have access to the file on your servers?

[Arun]

Iam saving the update files into a drive which is like a server. In this am able to create a folder, modify the folder and also delete the folder.I have access to the file with full control. But i dont know why i am still getting error Access to the path is denied.

If you're running wyUpdate from a Windows Service, you must make sure the service is running as "LocalSystem" and not as "LocalService". (Yes, there's a difference).


After you've done that, if you're still getting an error, tell me exactly at what step the error is occurring (when you're downloading, extracting, etc.). Also, copy & paste the exact error as it appears.

Iam running service as "LocalSystem" still iam getting error. This error occurs when service is running and here iam giving details

auBackend_BeforeChecking
auBackend_CheckingFailed. Reason
Title: Unable to check for updates, the server file failed to load.
Message: Error trying to save file: Error downloading "file://inaphyd1file01\US-IndiaFileTran$/DMT/Development/PTS Tools/Updates/wyServer.wys": Access to the path '\\inaphyd1file01\US-IndiaFileTran$\DMT\Development\PTS Tools\Updates\wyServer.wys' is denied.

First of all you're not forming the UNC path of your filename correctly. So first fix that. For example:

Code: Select all

file://///servername/share/%file%

Next, after you've fixed the download site, if you're still getting the error, try copying & pasting that site into your browser. Do you get the same error? That's because you don't have access to the path. (In other words, wyupdate is telling you exactly what the problem is).

[Arun]

Still having Error downloading "file://inaphyd1file01/US-IndiaFileTran$/DMT/Development/PTS Tools/Updates/wyServer.wys": Access to the path '\\inaphyd1file01\US-IndiaFileTran$\DMT\Development\PTS Tools\Updates\wyServer.wys' is denied.

I tried changing code for Text file which will save at service run time. I have give text file path as server path.

Then i got message "The Test AutoUpdate Service in C# service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs"

[Wyatt]

The UNC path is still not correct. Please google how to form a correct file:/// url using UNC paths.

I tried changing code for Text file which will save at service run time. I have give text file path as server path.

I don't know what that means. Please provide details about what you're doing, what you expect to happen, and what is actually happening (along with the entire error message).

Then i got message "The Test AutoUpdate Service in C# service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs"

Again, I don't know what that means. Please provide details about what you're doing, what you expect to happen, and what is actually happening (along with the entire error message).
