potential proxy problem

I'm using the trial of wyBuild. I added the AutomaticUpdater control to my app, and it works for me. When running the app on the target machine (heavily restricted), the app hangs at the splash screen (I assume at the creation of my form with the autoupdater control on it).

I do see in client.wyc a reference to a wyday url. During contruction / layout of the form, would the automatic updater be trying to access that url?

I have verified that the user on the target machine can in fact access my download-site url (internal server) without issue.

I can't determine much else at this point on my own, as I can't (not allowed) install the debugger on the target machine.

No internet access would be hanging up the AutomaticUpdater. All the downloading, checking, and updating is done by wyUpdate.exe. The AutomaticUpdater just talks to wyUpdate to tell it what to do. So whatever is hanging up your form it's not caused by internet access.

That being said, wyUpdate does access wyday.com for self-update access. You can always host wyUpdate yourself if this is a problem.

But you'll need to install a debugger (or at least reproduce this problem on another computer) to diagnose the hang.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can't get a debugger on there, but I'll go and add logging to a file _everywhere_.

In wyBuild, under Tools->Options,Proxy settings. Is this specific to wyBuild? Or put another way, will those settings turn off wyBuild's automatic updating?

The proxy settings in wyBuild are for the AutomaticUpdater and the FTP uploader. If you want to set the proxy settings for your app's updater see "Proxies in wyUpdate".
