Automatic Updater not working, but wyUpdate.exe does - help pleaseSolved
Hi - I've got a Outlook (VSTO) plugin and i have used wyBuild and Automatic Updater to provide an update facility in the app. Now just as I have a new release ready to go, I unfortunately find that I can't get the code to update through the AutoUpdater in the app.
It flashes up the User Account Control window, then the wyUpdate 'Downloading & Installing updates' window with a tick next to 'Downloading update' and the spinny blue circle next to Extracting files. It then sits there like that forever. If I click cancel, then it throws an unhandled exception error. (I can send screenshots is you like)
However, if I run wyUpdate.exe from the install directory, it all goes swimmingly and my plugin is updated fine.
Can you please suggest what I can do there, as I'd really like to fix this problem up with minimal impact on my customers.
ThanksMarcin
Hi Wyatt

We'll be fixing this in the next day or 2. Hold off on your update until then.
What version of the AutomaticUpdater are you using?
I'm using the winforms automatic updater running under .net 3.5
On my drive it tells me it's at v2.6.18.0, but my previous release was back in mid-Feb so not entirely sure what the version that went out with code.
btw, thanks for getting onto this so quickly
We've just released a fixed version of wyupdate (v2.6.18.2). Any users that don't have this problem won't get it. If you're still getting the problem, close wyUpdate (or crash it) then run this in a commandline window:
rmdir /s /q "%userprofile%\wc"This will clear the AutomaticUpdater cache and thus clear out the old version of wyUpdate.
I truly apologize for this. We're making sure nothing like this happens again.
Hi Wyatt
Initial tests appear to work - thanks for that. I did have to clear the /wc directory, but I expect for my customers (who wouldn't have downloaded the update yet) this shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks again for the really quick turn around on this, and I'll let you know if there are any further issues.
Cheers,Marcin
