Starting from scratch

I am in the fortunate position of having a yet unreleased bit of software (.net 4.0) which I know will have a number of updates over time. I'm going to be integrating wybuild to handle these updates.

Any best practices you would suggest whilst using wybuild (in wpf) to ensure trouble free rollout of updates in the future?

Sure,

Follow the step-by-step walkthrough (and the new release workflow for new updates).

Use the AutomaticUpdater tutorial for WPF apps.

Also, since you'll be working entirely with .NET 4.0 you'll probably want to build wyUpdate for .NET 4.0 (File -> Properties -> wyUpdate):

This way your only dependency will be .NET 4.0.

With every release of the AutomaticUpdater we're making it more forgiving. But if you use the AutomaticUpdater as designed, then you shouldn't run into any problems.

I've read through those documents and couldn't believe that it was that simple!

Thankyou for the detailed reply!
