I'm building my updates in an automated build process using wyBuild's command line. My first version contains only wyUpdate and the client.wyc file; the second version contains all of my application's files (basically and installer), and the third version contains an update to the second version.
When I run wyUpdate on the target machine on which the second version is the current version, it correctly reports that there is an update available and gives me the correct current and new version numbers. When I tell it to install the update, the status is reported as "Downloading update" and then I get an error. The details are "The given path's format is not supported."
I have opened the third version's .wyp file in the wyBuild GUI, and all of my file paths are as I expect them to be. It's not clear to me whether or not the problem is internal to the .wyu file, or if it's something else.
Please advise as to what might be causing this particular issue; I have no other information unless there's a log getting written that I don't know about.
Of course, I found a solution after I had posted to the forum.
Even though my paths looked fine in the GUI, wyUpdate doesn't like absolute paths for the dir="<folder name>" property of the <Files> element. A copy/paste error had introduced a drive letter into one of these and havoc ensued.
Thanks for listening. I'm looking forward to the more verbose error messages in the next version

I'm glad you figured it out. Sorry the message was too vague -- this message in particular is better in 2.6.15
