If I should not include the wyUpdate.exe in the updater as one of the files in the application folder, then how will this file update itself?
wyUpdate.exe
Since it seems that if I include by accident the "wyUpdate.exe" file in the program files folder, the updater fails to work, as it then tries to update itself we updating, perhaps it makes sense for you to check if that file has been included by accident and show an error to the user in the wyBuild?
BTW if you say the file name can change, then at least give a warning if either you spot that in the file (using an attribute or whatnot) if its the installer or a warning if the file name is "*Update.exe"
We do warn users if it's named wyUpdate.exe. However if you do include wyUpdate.exe the worst that happens is that wyUpdate skips the file when it's installing your update.

wyUpdate self-updates from our servers. If you want to host wyUpdate self-updates on your own server see "How to make a custom version of wyUpdate".

The worst that seems to be happening is that the updater is freezing.
I'll look into that.
