Please help

I know I am missing a fundamental concept here but I need help so have mercy.

My problem:

wyUpdate says "You already have the latest version" when it isn't. What's wrong?

What I did:

I built my project in Visual Studio. I then created a new Wybuild project. I added all my files (here is the first problem).

Should I add the files from the bin/Release folder..i.e. the compiled exe fileor Should I add all the source files (i.e. the entire project folder..which is over 300MB)

I then clicked Build WyUpdate and generated a client.wyc file (which appears new as the date and time stamp confirm this) and a wyupdate file which does not appear changed (from the date and time stamp).

I then go back to Visual Studio...build an installer for the 1.0 version and INCLUDE the client.wyc file and the Wybuild.exe file. I install the program. I run Wybuild.exe from inside the C:\Program Files(x86)\MyProgram folder.It checks for the lastest version and says I have the latest version. Fine.

The Update

I work in Visual studio, update the program and now am ready for version 1.0.1 . I build the project to the bin/Release folder and copy those new .exe files to the Program files folder insider Wybuild on a new 1.0.1 build tab. I now click Build WyUpdate and a new client file is generated.

Now What do I do with this client file? DO I add it to the 1.0.1 tab ? and hit build update? I am not sure what to do here. I think I have tried every permutation.

Did you see this? "wyUpdate says "You already have the latest version" when it isn't. What's wrong?"

Should I add all the source files (i.e. the entire project folder..which is over 300MB)

Store all your versions (not the source code, but the end result -- executables, dlls, assets, etc.) in their own separate folder. See step 6 in the step-by-step walkthrough..

copy those new .exe files to the Program files folder insider Wybuild on a new 1.0.1 build tab. I now click Build WyUpdate and a new client file is generated.

Ok. That's wrong. Move all the files that constitute version 1.0.1 to their own folder (again, step 6 in the step-by-step walkthrough). Then add those files into wyBuild.

Now What do I do with this client file? DO I add it to the 1.0.1 tab ?

If you're creating a 1.0.1 installer then include it in the installer. Otherwise you don't need to do anything with it.

and hit build update?

When you're releasing a new update, then yes, build the updates (also, upload them).
