Updating wyUpdate.exe to custom build
I have been using wyBuild for some time now and have a lot of users that sometimes don't update for months.
I wanted to do a custom build of wyUpdate.exe so I could code sign it with the company cert going forward.
However, I tested the process and wyUpdate.exe did not update itself to my custom version (I versioned it as 2.6.18.5, also renamed wyUpdate.exe).
Is it just not possible to have wyUpdate.exe update itself to a custom built version or am I doing it wrong?
Did that.
It works [your wyUpdate.exe updates itself to my code signed version] if I manually replace client.wyc [in the install folder] with a new one generated after updating the default self update server file location in "File -> Properties" -> "wyUpdate"
But I cannot manually update client.wyc on all client machines, I need wyUpdate.exe to do this.
From my understanding, wyUpdate.exe does not update the self update server file location [in client.wyc] after running an update - even if the updates are generated after changing the self update server file location.
Please confirm that is the behaviour or that I am not doing it right.
You have to include the new client.wyc file in the next update to your application.
Just to clarify, this means, I have to build and include a new client.wyc file indefinitely in all future updates until all my users have updated past the old version?
Yes.
OK. Still love wyBuild nevertheless.
