wyUpdate failing using encryption

Hi.

I have an update built. I decided I would try using the encrypt with password functionality in wyBuild. When I encrypt the update, I get the following error message during the update process.

XXXX.msi uses an unsupported compression method (0x63, Unknown (0x0063))

If I uncheck the encrypt checkbox and remove the password and rebuild everything, the update works fine. If I recheck the checkbox, it fails.

wyUpdate version 2.6.18.4

Am I missing something here?

Honestly, don't use encryption. We never should've added it to wyUpdate. Because of the nature of the encryption (that is, the update package must be decrypted to be installed) the customers will all have the decryption keys. Which defeats the purpose.

If you want to limit updates to specific customers then use licensing. See: How to prevent or limit updates.

P.S. The answer to your question is that you're not decrypting the update file. Hence the error. But still -- don't use the encrypted updates features.

Wyatt,

Thanks for the information. I'll take your advice and not use the encryption feature.

Mike
