We're trying to script use of wybuild as part of our build process.
Is there any way to set the output directory (Preferences -> WyUpdate -> Output the wyupdate files to) on the command line tool? Are there any tricks I can use to e.g. get it to output to the current directory or a subdirectory?

No, why would you want to do that?

You can copy the files from the output folder to another folder.

Because having it hard coded in a binary file is very unfriendly to automated build and test systems.

Thank you, I had worked out that much. But that still means I need to arrange to have e.g. c:\output on each machine that builds updates for testing, and I can't do parallel builds etc.
The command line build tool allows nearly everything else to be automated nicely - this seemed like an odd omission.

I'm afraid I don't understand. You have separate wyBuild projects that will all output their files to the same "output" folder? Why would you do that?
Just go into File -> Properties -> wyUpdate, and change the output folder specific to that project file. If you want to store the wyUpdate files in their own version folders then you can do something like this:
C:\output\%product%\%version%So if your product name is "YourApp" and the latest version is 5.1, then the wyUpdate.exe and client.wyc file will be output to "C:\output\YourApp\5.1"
