Hi!I'm just getting started and would have loved a demo solution to.But this forum might be an alternative. So here is my current situation: After following the walk-through my app can't update. The details of the error states, that signature verification failed. But the downloaded size and SHA1 are correct. The FAQ has three hints. So I checked #1 (SHA1 ok) and #2 (uploaded files again). For #3 I closed wyBuild and rebuilt wyBuild and updates. Still same error. What is quite strange: if I start wyBuild.exe directly, the update is done ok.
Any idea?
I'm on Windows 7 x64, VS 2010, wyBuild Version 2.6.13.0Jens
Ok, here is what I did: Started the update-check twice BEFORE closing the application. After this updating works on first try. Now I would like to have some different sample projects to demonstrate different tasks. Maybe I can get into this without but I like to have some guidance.

Are you using the AutomaticUpdater? What do you mean by "Started the update-check twice BEFORE closing the application"?
The signature validation error should only happen when either the downloaded update is corrupt (e.g. failed to download completely or the an intermediary proxy modified the file) or you used separate sign keys for building wyUpdate and building the updates -- this is usually caused by using 2 separate wyBuild projects (See: Signing Updates in wyBuild).
Hi!After starting my app and starting the update process I got this verification error. A red cross with detailed information was showing up. This is the situation where I closed my app and looked for a solution. Besides reading the error details. But because SHA1 and file size in the error details were correct my search ended quite fast here.The wyUpdate.exe did update my app. So I tried again and again (without success) until I started the update twice while my app was running. First update check with error, second one ok. After this successful update all updates started ok in the first place. It might be something I did wrong but after all I decided against wyUpdate. Took to much time after all. And would take much more for another couple of thinks. Here are my reasons (just in case you want to know):- wyUpdate.exe not signed with my key. Yes, it's open source and I managed to built and sign it but I did not understand how this executable integrates into wyBuild. But do I want to do this after each Version Update? - wyUpdate-branding all over the update process- Didn't want AutomaticUpdate Component on my main form. I didn't want it coupled to the menu either. - wyUpdate.exe seems to contact your server. Obviously to check for updates. Nothing that bad with it. But I'd prefer to update the updater within the update process. - I did not find a manual anywhere. The documentation on your website was not sufficient for me.
I might have taken the wrong lane for what I wanted but as stated above: for a simple "keep my app updated automatically" my mileage was to high.
- I did not find a manual anywhere. The documentation on your website was not sufficient for me.
We recommend reading the Step-by-step walkthrough -- this will cover everything you need to know about adding automatic updating to your app in an easy to follow format. If you don't read this, then the learning curve for wyBuild is a bit too high to just tinker with it and figure it out. Also, we have a growing set of help articles.
I'm not sure what we could add to make this easier.
- wyUpdate.exe seems to contact your server. Obviously to check for updates. Nothing that bad with it. But I'd prefer to update the updater within the update process.
Yes, this is for self-updates (when wyUpdate needs to update itself). You can specify your own server: see How to make a custom version of wyUpdate.
- Didn't want AutomaticUpdate Component on my main form. I didn't want it coupled to the menu either.
Use the AutomaticUpdaterBackend or wyUpdate as a silent updater.
- wyUpdate-branding all over the update process
You can change the wyUpdate branding in the title bar in wyBuild by going to File -> Properties -> wyUpdate. You can also brand the images. There are a dozen technical reasons why we don't make it easy to replace every instance "wyUpdate" with "X".
- wyUpdate.exe not signed with my key. Yes, it's open source and I managed to built and sign it but I did not understand how this executable integrates into wyBuild. But do I want to do this after each Version Update?
This is explained in the step-by-step walkthrough.
Hi Waytt,thanks for your answers. I might give it another try. And get back to this forum if I need help.
