Creating a prerelease version

I'd like to be able to release a version of my software that only certain "beta" users (people that have checked a box inside the software) will get and then with a simple change I can release this version to everyone.

I was thinking that this could be accomplished with two different wyserver.wys files. I could create a wyserverbeta.wys file and then just copy this to wyserver.wys once it was fully checked out.

Is there a way to programatically change the %file% that the automatic updater control is looking for?

Something like:AutomaticUpdater.wyServerFileName = "wyserverbeta.wys"

We're going to be adding an easy way to do this in the future. But for now you can use:

automaticUpdater.wyUpdateCommandline = "-server=""http://example.com/server.wys"""

See the help file on overwriting the server site used.

Thanks for your help with this. My apologizes for not checking the documentation first.

I'm glad this works. This will make releases much less stressful as I can post them and test them before releasing them into the wild.
