Rollback

When creating updates, I wanted to remove the last update (1.0.0.2) and force the user to update again, back to version 1.0.0.1. This didn't work as it said the app is currently up-to-date. I made sure I deleted all of the wyu and wys files from the server before rebuilding. Should the update run if the version numbers don't match, in this case 1.0.0.2 updates to 1.0.0.1? What is the proper way to force a rollback?

wyUpdate only rolls back updates if there's a failure in the update process (a file fails to get patched, it can't get access to a file, etc., etc., etc.).

Outside of the update process (i.e. after an update has successfully installed) then the rollbacks are up to you. So if you made a mistake in 1.0.0.2 and you want to rollback then the way to do it is to create a version 1.0.0.3 (or 1.0.0.2.1) in your wyBuild project that contains the 1.0.0.1 files.

In other words, pick a new version in wyBuild greater than the previously installed version.
