gameplaySay I have three updates v1.0, v1.0.1 and v1.0.2added on wyupdate. If I remove update 1.0.1, will users running v1.0 get update 1.0.2 when they run the updater since v1.0.1 no longer existing? Will users running v1.0 be upgraded directly to v1.0.2 eliminating the need to upgrade to v1.0.1 first, when they run the updater?
wyBuild creates "direct patches". So if a user has 1.0 installed and you've since released 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, then the user will download the patch that goes from 1.0 to 1.0.2. It doesn't touch the patch for 1.0.1.
So should you delete "intermediate" versions in wyBuild? No. Here's why: any user on a version that you delete will be "stranded" on that version. That is, they won't be able to update to the latest version of your app.
gameplayGreat. It's crystal clear now.
Another issue : When a user upgrades to v1.0.2 which contains a modified exe to replace the previous version, the updater shous that it has download and installed the updates. but the exe is not replaced on the users computer ie the previous versions application launcher(exe) remains unchanged. In addition, the shortcuts of the application stop working. Any clue on how to fix this?

Make sure you put your app file in separate folders before adding them to wyBuild.
In addition, the shortcuts of the application stop working. Any clue on how to fix this?
What do you mean by "not working" What's the error? What are you using to create the shortcuts? How are you changing the shortcuts?
