Self Update

Hi, I have a two problems with wyBuild/wyUpdate. We use it to update common .NET WinForm application. We used it one year ago without problems (version 2.6.14.0). It has strange behaviour (version 2.6.18.4) now. The same wyUpdate fails, because wyupdate.wys file does not exists on path specified - it worked before without this file existsting on the path specified. We do not want wyBuild to update itselfs. In case I leave this URL empty, the old version finds newer version of wyUpdate.exe somewhere on google server. It causes the wyUpdate process is "restarted" and the application is started before it is updated. Updating process cannot update the application exe file.

The question is - can i download old version of wyUpdate application (wybuild-setup.exe)? Is there a way how to disable auto update of wyUpdate?

I've found an article to publish seflfupdate.wys, why do I need to do this? I only want to disable the auto update of the wyUpdate.exe file installed on client stations.

BTW: How can I make selfupdate.wys file? Why should I do this?

Thanks a lot!Frantisek.

How can I make selfupdate.wys file?

We go into this in the "How to make a custom version of wyUpdate" article

Why should I do this?

Because no software is perfect. You want to update your software and you should want to update wyUpdate. We fix bugs and add features.

The question is - can i download old version of wyUpdate application (wybuild-setup.exe)?

No. Old versions have bugs (more bugs than new versions).

Is there a way how to disable auto update of wyUpdate?

No. Well, you could remove the ability from wyUpdate, but that's a bad idea.
