by using wybuild my clients are able to check & download latest version, but changes are not Effecting(by auto install)

[sirigineediravi]

Hi...

This is Ravi, am using Wybuild for .net windows forms application. I'm thinking to buy the product if it works fine for me.
i downloaded trail for testing .

And it's doing well, but am creating the .msi using visual studio "setup project" with why build client and .exe files,
In client side,after checking and downloading of the latest version , it's saying to "install now", after clicking on install now the wybuild wizard is coming and restarting the application for changes. that's fine

Finally after restarting the application the changes are not occurring in the new installation.

Note: if i go for the client program files and "Myapp" there is a .msi with the latest version. here if i click on that Myapp.msi then again my new version is getting installed and changes to the latest version are occurring.

What may be the reason for not installing latest version after succesfull download also? Please let me know

Make sure you follow the step-by-step walkthrough. Are you putting the files for your separate version in their own separate folders? Are you copying *all* files from the old versions into wyBuild? (You should.)

Hi,Wyatt
thanks for your reply,

as of you said, i followed http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/walkthrough.php this link,

In video tutorial you shown the debug application(not App.msi) example know. So what i done is

Instead of copying (.dll,app.exe,autoupdater.dll etc...), i copied MyApp.msi and setup.exe in wybuild version files folder.
and building those files successfully and uploading those to server fine.

===>And in one of your forum posts i red that, no need to copy setup.exe files to the version file folder.
IF it's Yes!

Then, how can i proceed further, i mean if i just copy the (.dll,app.exe,autoupdater.dll etc...) these files, then what is the need of creating MyApp.msi with client,wybuild.exe and my application files????

My question is how the application will install with out MyApp.msi installer,
Or
your software will work with out uploading the msi files to the server? if No, in which step i need to upload MyApp.msi files to the server for updates....

If possible please send the attachment that shows me the clear procedure to update the applications with
.msi installer files for each version.

am using
1.visual studio 2010 professional (setup project and windows app)

One more thing, in setup project, IS it must and should to change the version no of setup project in the properties window???



Thank you!

You're adding the setup files to wyBuild instead of the actual files of your app. You can do that, but you lose most of the advantages of wyBuild. Namely, its ability to make patches for your app.

Why don't you add the files of your app inside wyBuild (instead of the installers)?

My question is how the application will install with out MyApp.msi installer,
Or
your software will work with out uploading the msi files to the server? if No, in which step i need to upload MyApp.msi files to the server for updates....

Use your installer to distribute to customers that don't already have your app (new customers). Use wyBuild/wyupdate/AutomaticUpdater to distribute updates to these users.

If possible please send the attachment that shows me the clear procedure to update the applications with
.msi installer files for each version.

The step-by-step walkthrough includes everything you need to know. Don't skip any steps.

I'm not sure what you're asking.
