It does not update file

I followed the tutorial to allow automaic updates in my windows form app. But wybuild download the update closes de app and it supposed to update the app. But it did not updated. I checked the right files in the proyect and also run the app from the folder I copy the new files and the app in thos folder runs correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Does the wyUpdate window show and does it "do something"? That is, has the update process taken place?

Also, did you follow the step-by-step walkthrough? This covers everything you need to know in an easy to follow way. Don't skip any steps.

My guess is either you're not including the correct files in wyBuild (make sure you include [*]all files[*] for [*]all versions[*] in the version tabs in wyBuild). Also, make sure you're not getting any warning in wyBuild when you build your updates.

Lastly, double click the client.wyc file in the folder you're using to test your app. Does the version in the client.wyc file match the version of your software?

I followed the step-by-step as is it. I copied all the files that are in the release folder then I created the new version. wybuild did not give any warnind and said that everything is ok.The program detects that there is a new version. The program downloaded the new version and said that you have the last version but the files have not be updated.

Can you send me your wyBuild project file (*.wyp) and the "client.wyc" file you're including with the old version of your app? Send them to wyatt@wyday.com.

Helo,

I have the same problem. the AutomaticUpdater (AutomaticUpdaterWPF.dll v2.6.16) fire the UptoDate Event although there is a new version available ? Via wyUpdate.exe the Update is possible ...

When you double click wyUpdate.exe does it show there are updates available?

yes, the wyUpdate.exe show that update availabe. The AutomaticUpdater fire Uptodate and UpdateAvailable Event ... in my opinion it's since the update in March. we're using AutomaticUpdater since one year w/o problems ..

On the computer where wyUpdate says there are updates available, in your app when you call ForceCheckForUpdates() does it show there are updates available or UpToDate?

the events Available AND UpToDate fire ...

It sounds like you have something configured incorrectly -- that shouldn't happen (and doesn't in any of our tests).

  1. Is the AutomaticUpdater on the main form of your application?
  2. Does the main form of your application only get called once? (That is, you're not creating more than one copy of the window within your process)
  3. Are you only using 1 AutomaticUpdater instance in your app?

if I copy the client.wyc file to another computer, the update works fine ... only on some computer it does'nt run...

>>>1. Is the AutomaticUpdater on the main form of your application?no, but on a separate form that shown before the user shutdown the application ... not on the main form ... because we check the update on BEFORE the applications shutdown.

>>>2. Does the main form of your application only get called once? (That is, you're not creating more than one copy of the window within your process)yes, definitely

>>>Are you only using 1 AutomaticUpdater instance in your app?yes, definitely

Hi all,I am experiencing the same problem. The "check for updates" run OK, without errors, but the returned message is "You are already running the latest version" and this is not true! I am developing a windows forms .net application.Thanks

Double click the client.wyc file. What does the version number say? Then download the "wyserver.wys" file from your server. Double click it. What does the latest version number on that say?

If they're the same, or if the wyserver.wys file has a "greater" version number, then your app will report "no updates available".

Hy Wyatt,

thanks for your suggestion. The problem was the wrong client.wyc file in the application setup.
