wyBuild New UserI purchased wyBuild some time ago and am now trying to use it to create Updates. I'm encountering difficulty because my Server resides on my Local C: drive and the Download Sites is looking for an actual http:// or an ftp:// address. I have a website with ftp capability that i am able to upload the updates to but whenever i attempt to run the WyUpdate it gives me an error stating the following:
Could not parse the URL "ftp://username:<pass>/ftp.myhostt.com/Updates/wyserver.wys" - it's either malformed or is an unknown protocol.
I've attempted to put the download sites separately in that my ftp server has the Updates folder created and the files upload properly to it utilizing the username:<pass> combination and set this one to Updates Only
I tried using http://C/MyServer/Updates/%file% and set it as Server Only
The WyBuild and Updates run successfully as do the uploads to my FTP Server but when I attempt to run it, it tells me failed - unable to check for updates, the server file failed to load with the error I've indicated above.
It doesn't recognize the server and the errors I encounter each time pertain to the wyserver.wys file
I've followed your step-by-step walk-through without success - any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
If you want to test with a a local folder then use a download site like this:
file:///C:/updates/%file%The error you were getting with the FTP site is because the site is malformed. It should have and "@" sign between the password and the host (not a slash). For example:
ftp://username:<pass>@ftp.myhostt.com/Updates/%file%Tell me if this helps.

Changing the code to file:///C:/updates/%file% enabled me to set my local directory as server only and correcting the / to an @ sign permitted the correct uploading of the files.
When I copy the wyupdate and client to my Client Folder and run it, everything appears to work, however, it doesn't seem to recognize any of the changes to files that I made. It says "Unable to Generate because no changes to" - essentially what i did was upload the changed files and directories to my Updates folder on my ftp server and then i copied the wyupdate and client files to my client folder and ran the wyupdate but for some reason it just keeps returning that "Latest Version already Installed" - if i try to create a new version and put the files into my updates folder, it still returns the same error - I'm stumped - obviously, there is something that I am missing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - the types of updates that I do regularly are files that reside in sub-folders.
The version number is embedded in the "client.wyc" file. So, if you follow the step-by-step walkthrough you'll see that you should rebuild wyUpdate for every version you release. See step 6. That is, don't reuse the same client.wyc file over-and-over again.

Hi again Sam - Well, I went through the process for creating versions 1.0 and 1.1 - and even though I was sure I'd redone the wyUpdate and the Updates in my last attempt, I redid them both from scratch again - I received the "Latest version already installed' as a response to both versions. I created a sub-folder in my Updates directory called My Files with a .jpg inside the folder - I ran the wyupdate and then the updates - both said successful for version 1.1 - then I uploaded to my FTP host successfully but when I copy the client and wyupdate to my client folder and run it, it says "Latest version already installed" again lol I chose My Program File and added the MyFiles folder into it under version 1.1 prior to doing this as well. I'm stumped again - the updatres folder that I place the new files iside resides in my server folder prior to running the wyupdate and the update. Not sure what else I can do at this point to make it actually SEE the updated file - anything you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

When you build wyUpdate.exe & the client.wyc for version 1.0 of your app make sure you're selecting version 1.0 from the dropdown (just above the "Build wyUpdate" button). This should fix things.
