Change the target path, when wyUpdate.exe extract files

I want updater to extract files in C:\ABC folder.

But when create the setup my files in different folder, for example : C:\XYZAnd I put the wyUpdate.exe and client files in C:\ABCNewUpdaterAnd I am running wyUpdate.exe from a Vb6 program, with shell command.

When the updater download extracts it copies the files in C:\ABCNewUpdater folder, where the wyUpdate.exe exists.

How do I change this default setting, so that wyUpdate.exe extract the files in C:\ABC folder.

Thanks

You can do this, but it's not recommended. Why aren't you putting the wyUpdate.exe and the client.wyc file in the same folder as your app (as recommended in the step-by-step walkthrough)?

Sorry, my requirement is little different.I wanted to copy some of the files in different folder. Where can I set that path, so that those required files get extracted in different folder ?

thanks

I am expecting somebody from support group will answer, and waiting...

Are you updating files in your progrma's folder AND you want to update files in another non-system folder? Can you give me an example?

Here is how I wanted to do :

I wanted to extract 2 files in one folder and 2 in another folder.For example : 2 files in C:\ABC and another 2 files in C:\xyz.

I guess my question is : How do we set the TARGET PATH while extracting the files ?

If it is possible please let me know.

I really appreciate you guys help.

thanks in advance

I need a bit more information. Are these separate folders "System" folders. That is are you targeting a predefined folder? Or are these just random folders around the user's harddrive?

hi

Before building the project I create a separate folder such as Release1.2 (etc).In my project I have project main exes and DLLs etc. And also there are some other supporting files and exes,for monitoring etc.What I did , I added all the project files first by clicking "Add Files" button.And Secondly I added one Folder in with "Add Folder" button. When it created I named that folder as "SupportFiles".Then selected "SupportFiles" and clicked on "Add Files", and added my Support Files.

I build the project, and uploaded. Upto this all fine.

In "C:\ProjFiles" I put the wyUpdate.exe on my other machine.When I updated in my other machine with wyUpdate.exe, it extracted all files and "Supportfiles" folder als in "C:\ProjFiles".

Where as, I wanted to copy those "SupportFiles" in "C:\SupportFiles", instead of "C:\Projfiles".

May be if there is an option, in wyUpdate, while building itself, if we can set each file "Destination Local Path" , that will be better. I dont see this kind of option. Where as as now it just extracts all the files in same folder where wyUpdate.exe exists.

I really appreciate you guys help...thanks in advance

Can I ask why you're putting the files in folders across the harddrive? Last is, why not

%programfiles%\Your App\%programfiles%\Your App\Common Files

Or even

%programfiles%\Your App\%CommonProgramFiles%\Your Company\
