No, wyUpdate.exe and client.wyc don't take into account what's in the Files & Folders. So there's no catch 22.
Hi,
I am evaluating wyBuild & wyUpdate and after some fiddling I got it to work. Most of the time we will follow the regular scenario:- Use a conventional installer for the initial installation. The installer projects includes client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe to be installed along side the regular application files. - Use wyUpdate for subsequent updates. The wyBuild project only contains the new application files in "Your program's folder".
Every once and a while it may be necessary to fully uninstall the old version before installing the new one. If I'm correct, I can still use wyUpdate like so:- Include the installer in the "Temporary folder" of the wyBuild project and have it executed before updating begins.- Don't include the application files in "Your program's folder".
The next update should follow the regular scenario again. So client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe must be included in my installer project again. If I'm not mistaking, those files are generated based on the contents of the "Files & Folders" among others. This seems to result in a catch 22:- In order to build wyUpdate, I must first include the installer files in the new version's "Temporary folder".- In order to build the installer files, I must first include client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe in the installer project.
Am I missing something or make some kind of reasoning mistake? Can you help me achieve my objective?
Thanks in advance.
