UI element not changed after Update

Hi there,I am having what must be a newbie issue with my wyBuild and AutomaticUpdater control use. After creating an Update version , building and uploading. Installed clients are able to see the Update and to Download and install it, a CHANGED USER CONTROL ELEMENT DOES NOT REFLECT THE NEW CHANGES after the updates have been applied.

I am including the .exe which bundles all forms in the project. What am I missing?

My guess is that you're getting warnings when you build the updates, correct? The warnings are actually important.

Every version of your software should be stored in its own separate folder. Then, from those folders, add the files to wyBuild. See the step-by-step walkthrough. Specifically step 6.

Thanks for yours Wyatt. Actually, am not getting any warnings when I built. And the updates apply except that the UI element doesn't reflect the changes. I am copying the .exe file of the winform project in which the form with the UI element change is located. Am getting this from the bin/Release folder of VS2012.

My wonder since the .exe is a compilation including all the forms etc...why is my change not been effected after apply the update patch. Is there something I am missing?

Regards

And the updates apply except that the UI element doesn't reflect the changes.

Then the updates aren't applying. Your UI elements are in the exe. It sounds like you either have an old version on your server (did you upload your updates after you built them), or your wyBuild project is referencing the wrong files.

Hey Wyatt,I just discovered that the Updated .EXE file is downloaded into a wyUpdate folder inside my Program Folder so that instead of replacing the old .EXE file with the new, the new is placed inside a wyUpdate folder. And of course, the old .EXE is launched whenever the app is accessed. What could be responsible for this and how can I correct it?

Hoping you got my order earlier.

The "Your program's folder" in wyBuild corresponds to the location of where wyUpdate.exe is sitting. This is covered in the step-by-step walkthrough.

Hi Wyatt,Thanks for your earlier message. At the risk of sounding like an idiot, could you then give me direction on how to get the update .exe when extracted to be put into the main folder and not the WyUpdate sub-folder of my app? I am sure its a simple thing but I can't make it out and NO, the tutorials (which I have gone through severally) did not cover this.

Thanks

I meant my updated app.exe to replace the original one in the root programs folder, not the wyUpdate sub-folder. So that the updated changes in my new app.exe replaces the old. I presume that's the idea.

Regards

Never mind. All sorted.
