Hey John,
recently bought wyupdate, must say it's the best piece of software I've bought in ages. Great work.
Thanks, we appreciate that.
1.) If I add wyupdate to run on windows start up with these command line args
wyupdate.exe -skipinfo -noerr
Does this mean that it will automatically download and update the application?
Yes. It will always show the UI. If you want it to skip the "Update was successful" screen, and just close instead, go to File -> Properties -> wyUpdate, and check "Close wyUpdate on successful update". Of course there are still a few instances where a user might have to intervene (when a file is in use, etc.)
So for cases where there's no user sitting in front of the screen it's almost always better to run wyUpdate from a Windows Service.
If you're running wyUpdate from a service call "wyupdate.exe /fromservice" instead of "wyupdate.exe -skipinfo -noerr"
This is kind of a bit of a request. Can wyupdate have a mode that will have it run constantly and not exit when an update is complete?
This is fairly high on our priorities list. We're trying to get it out for the wyBuild 2.8 or 2.9 release.
Is this just wishful thinking?
Not at all. It won't be a service embedded in the wyUpdate executable like you show, but it will be it's own standalone service. We have had several large companies pushing for this functionality -- we're still nailing down the overall design.
