I'm trying to replace the standard wyupdate.exe (already deployed to clients) with a custom one. Once the application finds a new update, the update takes place as it normally does, but the wyupdate.exe is never updated to the custom one.
Both 2.6.8.0 and 2.6.8.1 versions were created an published as a new updater project, the wyupdate url was updated (File _ Properties) on the application project, and the 2.6.8.0 custom wyupdate.exe was included into the application update.
How can we replace the existing standard wyupdate.exe with a custom one on an existing deployed installation?
There may be other ways to do this, but this might help:
When I moved to using a custom built wyupdate, I renamed it as well. You could include that newly named executeable in your update. If you're using the autoupdate control, don't forget to set the property wyUpdateLocation to the new exe.
Not sure how you'd delete the existing wyupdate.
There's no clean way to go from our hosted version of wyUpdate to your own. Frederik describes one possible option. But, the cleanest way is to simply specify the self-update site, rebuild wyUpdate (click Build wyUpdate in wyBuild), then include the new client.wyc file in your updates.
This will allow wyUpdate to update to your custom version on the next update of your app.
