Query about client.wycSolved

Hi,

I'm using wyBuild for a .NET Windows Service installed via an MSI that was created using WiX.

Please could you advise on the following scenario?

I'm on version 1.0, a sample customer has installed an MSI which includes the 1.0 client.wyc, wyUpdate.exe and all of the application files.

I want to update them to 1.1; do I have to build 1.1 and then copy the new client.wyc + wyUpdate.exe into the "Your program's folder" section of Files & Folders AFTER the build? I didn't do this for version 1.0

If I do this, do I then need to build again and copy the new client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe into my MSI, build WiX and then ship the new 1.1 MSI to sample customer 2?

The video on Wyatt's Youtube page doesn't seem to do this, but if something major changes in the client.wyc then surely the client on version 1.0 would never get the updated client.wyc?

Thanks,Daniel

I've found documentation that solved this for me. In case anyone else has the same question, it was here:

https://wyday.com/wybuild/help/faq.php#in_client_wyc

Rebuild wyUpdate every new versionEverytime you create a new version, rebuild wyUpdate and include the newest "client.wyc" and wyUpdate.exe in your installer.

You should not include wyUpdate.exe in your updates wyUpdate self-updates. The client.wyc file, however, can be included with your updates (especially if you change any of the fields listed above).

Thanks
