Need to know the patch size when Wybuild finds new patch

Hey Arvind,

Are you talking about the AutomaticUpdater? Unfortunately there's no way to view the update size before starting the download. Maybe we'll add this in the future.

Hi Sam,Yes I am talking about AutomaticUpdater application. It would really be nice to have it. Also it would be good if we have a feature where when we create next release in wyBuild, a option to copy from old release. This would help avoid repeating the same operation when release has many files.I am not sure if we have this.-thanks

One more question;There is an option in wyupdater to configure application to start after successful update.Is there way to start application even if wyUpdater fails to update the application. We want to start the applicationwhen even when wyUpdater fails to update the application.

Appreciate for your inputs/help.

Yes, see: -startonerr="<filename>".

Yes, see: -startonerr="<filename>".

Thanks Sam for quick reply. It is really a very generic update application and enjoy working with it.Would soon buy license.-thanks

Hey Sam,One more question:In case WyUpdater fails during actual application upgrade now I am able to start our application through option (startonerr and startonerra) you provided.but now I do not see WyUpdater error UI. It simply starts our application. User really don't know whether upgrade was success or not.

thanks in advance.

but now I do not see WyUpdater error UI. It simply starts our application. User really don't know whether upgrade was success or not.

Use the -startonerra="<arguments>" to pass information to your app (like a flag that tells the user that the update has failed).

Hi Sam, we have taken one license of wyBuild and is of great help in upgrading our application.I have one requirement where customer is asking for logging not only success event in log file but also detailes likewhat all files got upgraded to. Can we enable such logging in wyUpdater?Appreciate your response.

-thanks

We don't currently have that logging in wyUpdate.

HiWe are having a problem where one of the installed configuration file is being changed by the user as a result wybuild goes for catch-all file download. Is there a way to avoid this for this particular file if we include this file (with different time stamp) in all next version of the software. So wybuild would find it in patch and would not go for catc-all.pls help.thanks in advance

wyBuild doesn't use the timestamps. If you don't want wyUpdate to touch a file then don't include it in any of the versions inside wyBuild.

But we want this file to be upgraded from patch (small size) when there is change in this file locally and not from catch-all file (our application it is huge). catch-all add lots of download time.

How wyBuild client decide whether to go for patch or catch-all?

Thanks in advance

If a file fails to patch then it uses the catch-all update.

Thanks for clarification. I have another query. I observe that if i delete a file from install folder thathas no change in next release then wybuild patches the changed files but does nothing for the deleted file.How would i correct this deleted file? The only way is to remove the changed files in which case wyUpdater would gofor catch-all files.Am i missing something?

wyUpdate doesn't repair broken installations. Use your installer for that. Also, wyUpdate doesn't touch files that aren't changed between versions.

Appreciate yr quick response. Yes this makes sense.
