AutomaticUpdater specify download site

Hi,Is it possible in the AutomaticUpdater to specify which site to download from?We plan to try out wyBuild on our customers' networks. The idea is to store the updates on a central server on their network and each client will br configured to point to this server.At each customer the server path will obviously be different and we would like to avoid having to create one client.wyc per customer. Hence we need to be able to pass the configured server path to the AutomaticUpdaterThanks,Andreas

Hey Andreas,

Yes, this is possible.

First you'll need to add at least 2 download sites within wyBuild. You'll need to make a "Just an update site" type download site and a "Just a server site" type download site.

The "just an update site" should be something like:

%updatepath%/%file%

The "just a server site" can be your normal server location (e.g. http://yoursite.com/updates/%file% )

Now, you can use wyUpdate's 2 commandline switches, "-server" and "-updatepath":

wyUpdate.exe -updatepath="file://c:/temp/wyupdate-test/" -server="file://c:/temp/wyupdate-test/wyserver.wys"

In this example the server site location is overwritten with the location "file://c:/temp/wyupdate-test/wyserver.wys" and the %updatepath% variable is replaced with "file://c:/temp/wyupdate-test/".

To pass these along to wyUpdate from the AutomaticUpdater simply use the "wyUpdateCommandline" property.

Tell me if this helps.

Thanks Sam.that worked perfectly./Andreas
