Hi, I am evaluating wyBuild for use as a replacement for our current delta patcher as we have been having issues with file sizes (old patcher is 32 bit and some of our files are quite large).
In doing this, I am looking to create a launcher app that handles all of the updating. The launcher would then launch the actual apps exe.
From reading the documentation, it seems this would be fairly simple to do with the AutomaticUpdater. Correct?
The other item that is a must, is a small install size. Our current installer is 1.5 gigs and has all kinds of issues transmitting without issues. Ideally we would have just the launcher app, minus the real app files as our installer. Then the launcher would use the AutomaticUpdater to grab the latest version and fill out the folder. Is this also possible?
These are must haves and since it's not explicitly communicated in the docs, I thought I would ask before burning a few days testing it out in code.
You can use the AutomaticUpdater or wyUpdate as a stand-alone updater. Whichever is easier for you.
As far as update size, we use delta compression. This is covered in multiple docs and in the marketing material. Basically wyBuild generates the smallest possible patch and wyUpdate delivers that patch to your customers.
