Offline updates question about the "all" update file

Hello,

I am trying to do offline updates that will be delivered via email.

When I run wyBuild for my project and create the update files, there is an update file for every previous version as well as a single "project.all.to.[new version].wyu" file. I want to send only this "all" file (with the wyserver.wys file) and not the previous version to current version files to keep the file size of the attachment down because I have many previous versions.

When I do this, I specify the -server and -updatepath options on the command line, and wybuild seems to start properly and displays the patch notes for the new version. I click Update to begin, the next screen says an error occurred and the update failed to download. The error message is:

The downloaded file "project.[old version].to.[new version].wyu" failed the Adler32 validation.

My question is: is there some way I can force the wyUpdate.exe program to use the "project.all.to.[new version].wyu" file instead?

If you don't want to use patches then you can avoid this by only creating a single version in wyBuild. And then to release new updates, instead of creating new versions in wyBuild, simply edit the version number in wyBuild, and add/remove files so the File & folders layout matches the new version.

Obviously this is more work on your end, and is not recommended for that very reason. But you will get what you want. Namely, a single *.wyu file.

Hi Sam, this workaround will also work when no client.wyc file where present into the client application directory?
