It's hard to say. Check the client.wyc file and see whay version is there. Then do it for the server.wys file. Again, what version?
If they're the same, or the client.wyc is ahead of the *.wys version then wyUpdate will say it's up-to-date.
Updater "searching" and can't find updatesAnswered
Hi all,
I've had my updater running fora number of months (8) and everything has been fine.
I've just run another update and now wyupdate is returning a 4 exit code and if i try and manually run the exe it just searches and never finds the update.
The update has successfully uploaded onto the server and if i use browser I can navigate to the files and see them too as they are public accessible.
I have this running in a C# app, so if i click on the auto updater and check the error it says Wyupdate.exe failed to start?
No idea why this has suddenly happened as this was all working for so long and the most recent update was about 3-4 weeks ago.
Thanks Wyatt (and another thanks for a great app).
So a i mentioned its been running perfectly fine for months (i've used it for another app for a year) so I have some experience.
Weirdly it is now working today…
I've never had this issue before. Yesterday it was having a return exit code of 4 and if i manually ran, the blue search for update bar would just stay there and nothing would happen (manually close the exe).
Today it is working 100% normally…
Could this be a port or firewall issue on my server side? I literally havent changed anything as i was looking to wait for responses to this this forum post.
I just thought to run it this morning and it worked!
OBviously something weird is up, and i'll do another update with ‘no new data’ and see if it just runs..
Ok something is obviously not right.
I have a version that my customer is using. (1.15)
This is not working correctly so i have copied my files from a saved older version (1.14, working) to anew folder (1.16) and then saved these in wyupdate under version 1.16
(I have done this process hundreds of times).
I ahve checked the server and all the update files are there [all to 1.16.wyu]
I have tried double clicking on the wyupdate.exe and it is saying there is no new update available.
The client.wyc file says 1.15 on this test PC.
The wyserver.wys says 1.16
So it is updating but for some reason it can't find the update or thinks there isnt one???
There must be a port issue or something happening from my server. The download site is the same and is working, Wyupdate just literally can't seem to recognise and check the file?
Ok so i left the updater running and it came up with alder32 error?
I've checked and it says something about not uploading all files together but all files are there on the server..?
Answer
I think I have found the answer.
I had some caching system set up (unknown to me) recently on the website. I believe when wyupdate was checking the URL it was getting a cached response prior to the update being available.
I cleared the cache and it could then update.
I have now disabled caching for the folder directory of the updates!!
