Update not pulling down the changes

Hello,I'm evaluating the trial version of wyBuild, I built my application based on the "Automatic Updater tutorial for Windows Forms". I published an update and my test application showed that there is an update available for download. After downloading the update, the application restarted but doesn't show the changes I made to the Form (which was a simple change to a label). My setup project contains the msi, exe, AutomaticUpdater.dll, client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe. Please advise on how I can solve this issue.Thanks.

Are you getting warnings when you build the updates? If so, listen to those warnings. They're important. My guess is that you're adding the same file to multiple versions in wyBuild. So, when wyBuild compares the files, and it sees the same file, there will be no patch generated. Why? Because the file on the disk is unchanged.

Short answer, follow the step-by-step walkthrough: http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/walkthrough.php

Longer answer: follow that walkthrough, and pay special attention to when it says "Create a folder to store the files for this new version (we're calling it 1.2).".

Create a new folder for every version of your app. Put the files specific to those versions inside each folder. Then add those files from the folders to wyBuild.

Does that make sense?

Thank you for the quick response.I made sure there was no warning when building the updates.I did create folders for every update and copied all the application specific files to the respective folders. Should the client.wyc file be added to every update? Is there something else that I should look at?Thanks!

any suggestions on how to resolve this?

The client.wyc can be added if you want to. It's not required. It won't mess anything up.

A couple of things you should look out for:

1. In the files you copied to their respective folders, did you include the correct files? That is, make sure the file that will be delivered to your user are correct.

2. Make sure you build the updates.

3. Make sure you upload all of the update files to your server. You can do that manually, or by clicking the "Upload updates" button in wyBuild.

4. Make sure the client.wyc file for the file on your "client's" computer has the correct (a) update site and (b) version (so that it matches the version of your app. You can verify this by double clicking the file.

Does that make sense?
