Update COM server for 32 and 64 bit windows.

Hi, it is possible to update loaded in memory com server (Shell Extention)? Also I need to detect 32 or 64 bit windows and install 32 or 64 bit version of com server. I solve this problem in NSIS installer but in wyBuild I can't find solution.

Yes, you can update COM components. See: How to register / unregister COM dlls.

To do separate x86 / x64 builds of your app then have separate wyBuild project files. This way your x86 customers will get the x86 updates and the x64 customers will get the x64 updates.

Ok, but in case when my dll is currenly loaded by explorer.exe DllUnregisterServer will not unload it and dll file will be locked. ?orrect me if I'm wrong.

That's right. Currently wyBuild has no "built in" way to update in-use files. You can always kill explorer (execute a bat to do it), update the COM files, then restart explorer.

Ok, thanks for help.
