hi all,i have a problem.i will tell procedure what i did.i created new ftp and virtual directory in IIS with names VDBuild/596p3 which is pointing to local folder.in Files & folders, in "Your Program's Folder" i copied My application's Relase files.in "Download Sites", i added site http://localhost/VDBuild/596p3.and in "Build WyUpdate & Updates". there was only one version and i selected tat version. and Build wyUpdates and Build Updates both were successful.in "Upload your Updates" added new ftp site address with username and password and its connecting and Upload files is also succesful.after that i executed wyUpdate.exe its failing and returning error"Error trying to save file: Could not download "http://localhost/VDBuild/596P3" - a web page was returned from the web server."

pls help

Did you list your site as "http://localhost/VDBuild/596p3" or as "http://localhost/VDBuild/596p3/%file%"? Because it should be "http://localhost/VDBuild/596p3/%file%".

Also, see the FAQ "Do I need to configure my server?". This covers IIS, and how you might have to set the mime-type of *.wyu and *.wys files as "application/octet-stream".

Tell me if this helps.

hi sam,

i gave %file% in download sites. but it returned some other error saying wyserver.wys not found (404).since i am using Microsoft IIS i chaged .wys extensions to .zip.but still same 404 file not found error is comming.in IIS if i map my virtual directory path to default loaction C:\Documents and Settings\harsha.vedavysachar\My Documents\Updatesthen there is no error but if i map to someother location then error is comming

is it like tat or is there something wrong.pls help.

thank you

The 404 error you got was because IIS didn't have the correct mime type for *.wys and *.wyu files (application/octet-stream). Also, if you can't/won't/don't know how to change the mime-type and would rather rename the files to *.zip, you must to it in wyBuild.

That is, click File -> Properties -> Update & server files, and change the file extensions there:

[attachment=0]change-filename.png[/attachment]

Then rebuild wyUpdate, and rebuild your updates. Upload the files to your sever and try again.

hi sam,

thats fine, i have already changed the file to ZIP.now its working but stil error is comming.

is there any thing like download url physical path should point to the same folder as FTP points to.

we already purchased this software but not able to use it.pls helpthank you

now its working but stil error is comming.

What error? Please copy and paste it here.

is there any thing like download url physical path should point to the same folder as FTP points to.

I'm not sure what that means.

Here's what you need to do

  1. Rename the files in the File -> Properties -> Update & server files window. Not by right clicking the files and clicking rename.
  2. Set your server site to "http://localhost/VDBuild/596p3/%file%" (or whatever your site is, but make sure %file% is appended to the site, or else wyUpdate will have no idea where to look).
  3. Rebuild your updates.
  4. Upload your files.
  5. Test download the server file in your browser. That is, type in "http://localhost/VDBuild/596p3/wyserver.zip". Does it download? If so, continue to the next step. If not, something is wrong with your server configuration (e.g. the server's not running, the file doesn't exist in the folder, etc, etc.)
  6. Rebuild wyUpdate.
  7. Test running wyUpdate.

Tell me if this helps. And if somethings goes wrong tell me the exact error.

hi sam,

now its working..thank you
