Traditional updating

Hi,

Although the included online updating is very convenient, i would like to ask if is somehow possible to perform traditional updating of an application (download a Myprogram_update.exe from my website and run this to update the application).

The scenario is that the application will check for updates and if available it shall ask the user to visit the website in order to download the latest update.

Thanks in advance

Henri

Hey Henri,

We don't yet have this built into wyBuild. The way we recommend delivering "traditional" updates is just releasing an installer of your latest version.

Or you can use %updatepath% in tandem with -server to install updates from a localpath. See: http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/wyupdate-commandline.php

But I don't that was what you were looking for. wyBuild doesn't currently output patch *.exe files. Just patch files in a format wyUpdate can read.

Thanks for your prompt reply Wyatt.

So if I release a "traditional" update as a complete/latest version installer, will this detect the already installed app and update it to the latest version?

Will try it.

Thank you
