InstantUpdate or WyUpdate

It seems 'WyUpdate.exe' was renamed to 'InstantUpdate.exe' in the prior version of WyBuild. Now it seems to be called 'WyUpdate' again because WyBuild creates WyUpdate.exe now.

???

InstantUpdate it the ancient name of wyUpdate (it's the pre-1.0 name of wyUpdate). wyBuild has InstantUpdate.exe in the program's folder for backwards compatibility reasons with pre-1.0 versions of wyUpdate. When wyUpdate self updates it doesn't touch the filename, so you can name it whatever you want.

That being said, since v1.0, wyBuild has always built wyUpdate.exe (which is really just a copy of InstantUpdate.exe in the wyBuild folder).

Does this make sense?

Or are you saying a recent version of wyBuild produced InstantUpdate.exe when you clicked "Build wyUpdate"? Because that shouldn't happen.

Yes, but no worries. Now that I know that I'll just change my code. Thanks, Sam.

You can name wyUpdate.exe anything you want. If you want it named InstantUpdate.exe then there's no harm in that. It will still be able to self update.
