Is this possible? (Portable updating)

My company does some software that is designed for portable use ie run from usb stick or just one exe file and run from that.. is it possible to embed wybuild updates so its all inside the exe file?

No, but 2 exes will work (and it will still be portable). There will be 3 files total: YourApp.exe, wyUpdate.exe, and client.wyc. You will be able to deliver updates fine whether your app is on a USB stick or in a folder on their main hard drive.

We don't recommend "bundling" or "packaging" wyUpdate.exe using a VM tool. We don't test for this - for all we know it will fail.

Short answer: Yes, wyUpdate supports portable updating. No, you can't embed it into a "bundled" exe.

Does this help?
