Remove "wyUpdate" in installer window

Hi, I was wondering if, along with the the image file, it was possible to entirely re-theme the window that appears when an update is installing.

This might include removing the 'wyUpdate' that appears when updating. Some users of our product are a little confused as to what 'wyUpdate' is since the name isn't related to our product.

You can change the wyUpdate window title by going in wyBuild, click File -> Properties -> wyUpdate, then change the title. For changing all wyUpdate strings you'll need to get the source code and replace all instances (then re-sign wyUpdate).

Thanks for the quick reply. Will do!

I've tried modifying the "Custom title for wyUpdate title bar" located under the 'wyUpdate' tab in File->Properties.

After saving and building wyUdate and uploading, nothing happens. I've even tried making subsequent 'blank' updates afterward, but wyUpdate still seems to show 'wyUpdate' as the header.

You need to include the new client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe.

I see - was only including wyupdate.exe before. Thanks again!

It looks like there's an issue with this if I use the command line version of wybuild.

In wyBuild GUI - I have changed the theme to a custom one which references different images. If I build wyupdate from here, running client.wyc shows me the updated dialogs.

If I now run wybuild.cmd.exe with the "/bwu" flag - it builds, but the client.wyc file shows the "Simple Blue" theme, though the wyUpdate Title Bar is still changed.

I take it your using the wybuild.cmd.exe from another computer or another user account on the same computer? You need to set up the theme in wyBuild of the custom theme for wyUpdate.

Not sure if I follow entirely. Both wybuild and wybuild.cmd.exe are being run on the same computer by the same user account (should I run the command prompt as admin?).

The project file is being saved in a users/[username] folder as opposed to something in c:/programfiles (which is where wybuild is located).

I see a "ImageTemplates.xml" file - do I just need to update that (or is there a way to point to the new theme, not sure where it is located)?

Set the theme in wyBuild. Then when you build from commandline, wyBuild will use whatever you set.

I was previously setting the theme in wyBuild and saving, but every time I ran it from the command line - the theme would revert back.

I have instead updated the global "ImageTemplates.xml" file with the correct image references. A solution that was easy enough, but I'd still like to know why it wasn't able to update when I added a new theme from the wyBuild GUI.
