wyUpdate.exe take too time to run

[Madadkhani]

hi i use wyBuild & Configure it to update my software. it update too fast in my computer but in others computer it take too time to run wyUpdate.exe & also check to find that it is a current version or not?

i use windows XP & check it in other windows XP , Wndows 7 but it's so slowly to show it's interface.

Well, I need a bit more information to help you. For instance, what are the specs for the computers that run wyUpdate slowy? Also, are these computers heavily loaded (high CPU and/or RAM usage)?

[Madadkhani]

no the computes i use as a test environment have 2GB Ram With Free more than 1GB & 3.2 MHz CPU that have 1% load.

You're not running on a virtual machine (Virtual PC, VMWare, etc.) or anything? Is wyUpdate being slow for you on Windows XP or Windows 7?

[Madadkhani]

no i use a real pc. i download wyUpdate.exe source from your site it run too fast on our PCs but i take too long to check if a new version is available or not.

[Sam]

Oh, ok, now I understand. The checking process is taking long for you but the updating process is going fast.

This can be caused by many things:

1. Your servers are slow.
2. The proxies on your computer are misconfigured (thus wyUpdate takes a long time to try the sites again without the proxies).
3. You're blocking some outgoing sites or all outgoing sites in your firewall. Or you're just blocking wyday.com in your firewall.

There are other causes. But you should check all of those things.

1. our server is so powerful & we can download clickOnce Update (50MB) less than 20 Sec but WyUpdate (100Kb) take about 1 Min to check existing of new update

2. we have not configure any proxy to our IE.


3. what is outgoing site that i should check it's clock or not. but i know that our update server is not block because it found update after about 1 Min.

What are the specs for the computer where wyUpdate is working fast? That is, what are the differences between the fast and the slow computer? Also, what operating systems (fast & slow)?

3. what is outgoing site that i should check it's clock or not. but i know that our update server is not block because it found update after about 1 Min.

Make sure the following sites are unblocked (and fast):

http://wyupdate.googlecode.com/files/client.wys
http://wyday.com/files/wyupdate/updates/client.wys
http://wyupdate.googlecode.com/files/client.net4.wys
http://wyday.com/files/wyupdate/updates/client.net4.wys

If any of these sites is the slow point, then host the wyUpdate self-updates on your own site.

i connect a pc to internet & it detect update so quickly, but our client doesn't access to internet. how we can remove checking these address from "wyUpdate"? & why this file check these locations?

[Sam]

When wyUpdate updates itself (that is, when we release a new version of wyUpdate.exe) it gets it from one of those servers. So every time a new version of your app is available one of those sites is checked.

To host wyUpdate on your own servers (or locally on a client's servers) then read this article.


Tell me if that makes sense.
