jebouvHello,
In Project/Properties/wyUpdate/Output the wyUpdate files to, I want to have a dynamic location such as :
<somewhere>\updates_bin\%versionto%\
It works but comes with some minor annoyances:- an empty \%versionto% directory is systematically created.- the output directory will not be automatically created, it has to be explicitly created.
Regards.
Why do you want to output wyUpdate.exe and client.wyc to separate folders depending on the version?
You should always include the latest client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe with your latest version of your app. If you want to rebuild client.wyc for an old version of your app simply choose it from the dropdown.
Am I missing something?
Hi Sam,
I'm reworking the deployment process for an internal app currently deployed with Click Once.
As I'm enhanding the whole thing, I'm creating a lot full setups (with Inno Setup) and wy updates. Keeping every version on wyUpdate and client.wyc in its own folder is more convenient during that phase. It helps me adjust setups and test all possible scenarios without having to regenerate older version of those files.
Just a convenience really.
I don't know yet whether I will want the same output structure once we go live.
Regards.
Oh I see. Well, during your testing you can use the same wyUpdate.exe for all your test installers (so no need to separate that between versions). The client.wyc files you'll either have to rebuild for the versions you want when you need them, or cache them yourself.
I'm sorry, but we won't be adding the ability to separate the built client.wyc files to separate folders.
If you have any other questions at all, don't hesitate to ask.
