Today I was a bit surprised when one of my PCs did not download the latest update. The .wyc file on this PC is from the update before last.
So I'm curious as to what might cause this behavior, and what I might need to do to correct it? 🤔
Update: Clearing the cache files, and running wyUpdate directly from the program folder as outlined here https://wyday.com/forum/t/163/checking-for-updates-doesnt-always-find-the-update/#post-884 does not fix the problem.
If I were to guess I'd say that the AutomaticUpdater downloaded an update N days ago, then you released a new update, then the AutomaticUpdater finished extracting and installing the now "old" update. Your user should be able to just recheck for updates and the latest update will be installed.
This behavior is by design. We do it this way to reduce overall bandwidth wasted by both your user and your servers.
Does this make sense?
Not sure.
The problem .wyc in question was from 11/27. I put an older one from 11/9 in the folder and it all worked fine. So maybe what you say is correct. Good to know.
Thanks Sam. 😀
