Self UpdateHi,
I've read your article "How to make a custom version of wyUpdate". I've successfully recompiled it (myUpdate.exe) and it works as required. I wish to sign it.
Can I just bundle myUpdate.exe with the application.exe ? The app has a menu option to invoke myUpdate with the proper arguments (server, cdata, etc.) It checks for and correctly updates the application. However when the version has a new version of myUpdate.exe, it's not updating itself (understandable since it is running).
Thanks for this awesome software!
The "How to make a custom version of wyUpdate" article covers how to self-update wyUpdate and when it actually self-updates. For example, if there's no update to your app, then wyUpdate won't self-update even if there's a new version of wyUpdate. There are other conditions. Just look at the article.
If you have a specific question then I'll be glad to help.
Self UpdateYour article proposes to treate myUpdate as another application to be updated as per normal application.
Is it possible to include myUpdate.exe as a component of my normal application ? I.e. when includes in my normal application, will it be updated when I change it and build a new version to my application ? Maybe I'm missing something.

It is a component in your app but you have to treat it differently because, well, it's different.
