How to force update even with the same version number?

Is there a way to let wyUpdate pick the updates even when the version number remains the same however the updates file and server file has been changed. i.e.

The version on client side is v4.0.0I have some minor updates that doesn't deem a new version (v4.0.1)Can I just overwirte file in my current v4.0.0 build folder with these minor changes, then build new updates file for wyUpdate.exeIt seems that as long as the version doesn't change, wyUpdate.exe won't pick it as a new update.

Thanks,JC

No. You have to create a new version number in wyBuild.

Ok, thanks Sam, for the confirmation. hopefully your new release could somehow include a feature to force updates as long as the server side updates data file is newer than client's.

For the time being, I have to use something like, v4.0.0.1, v4.0.0.2. ....

BTW, is there a limit on how many tabs can be created on wyBuild? I expect that I will have many tab with these minor versions created..

Nope.

We hat the same problem and our workaround was a modification of the client.wyc before the update check. Set its current version number to an empty string will do the trick. Check out the source code for wyUpdate where you can see how you have to parse/write the files.
