Does not update wyUpdate.exe to custom version

Hi,

we're using wyUpdate for a while for our .NET desktop App without problems. Now we had to build custom version of wyUpdate.

I have followed all the steps in the "How to make a custom version of wyUpdate": Created a new project for the wyUpdate.exe, added the custom .exe, build, upload, all fine. Also set the update-site for wyUpdate to the custom location of the server-file in the main app.

From my understanding, the following should then work as a test: In my main app's project, I build wyUpdate for a previous version and replace the client.wyc in the app's program folder. This client.wyc then should contain on 'old' version number and the path to the custom wyUpdate.exe, right?

When I start my app, it correctly updates to the latest version, but does not update its update.exe before. Using Fiddler I see it does not even download the wyUpdate's wys server file from the custom location.

What may I be missing? Btw: How does wyUpdate even decide if there is a new version of wyUpdate.exe, where is the 'current' version of wyUpdate.exe taken from?

Before I include the new wyc in my main app's next version I want to make sure the self-update works as intended...

Any help appreciated...

This client.wyc then should contain on 'old' version number and the path to the custom wyUpdate.exe, right?

I don't know. Double click it and see where it points to for self-updates. My guess is that the client.wyc is referencing our hosted self-update sites.

Using Fiddler I see it does not even download the wyUpdate's wys server file from the custom location.

If you're already up-to-date (your main app), then wyUpdate never bothers to check for updates to itself.

Btw: How does wyUpdate even decide if there is a new version of wyUpdate.exe, where is the 'current' version of wyUpdate.exe taken from?

Double click the client.wyc and you'll see the current self-update site. Also, see "When wyUpdate self-updates" in http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/custom-wyupdate-version.php

Hi,I'm facing a similar problem !It fails to download the custom self update server file from the server .What may i be missing ? I have debugged the code for wyUpdate , I do end up in a condition where the download fails for the custom wyUpdate file. Please Help

More information is needed.
