bilmarI have a forms app where each user will have a unique DB logon ( ID) and User-specific settings that may occasionally need to be updated remotely eg. mySettings.xml
wyBuild looks good for application updating to everyone but what If I just want to get a new mySettings.xml to user ID 1234?Can it be used for this too?
Bill
Yes, you can update user-specific setting when using wyBuild. However, you have to handle the user-specific changes to the settings file either by executing a batch file / exe / etc. after the main program files have been updated or by handling the user-specific changes within your actual application upon first run of the new version.
Does that make sense?
bilmarNot really.Are you saying that I must issue an update to everyone so that client 1234 can get their Settings file?
Bill
No, I'm saying user-specific updates must be handled by your application. There's no way for wyUpdate to know what user-specific setting must be set or what they must be set to.
When I mentioned executing files after the update I was telling you how to automate whatever utility program you write to set these user-specific settings after your main app has been updated.
Does that clarify things?
