terenceHey there.
I'm wondering if there's a complete list of command line arguments for wyUpdate.exe? So far, I've been able to locate a few on this page (http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/silent-checking.php), but I'd like to see the entire set of options availiable.
I've tried to run wyUpdate.exe /help, I've tried wyUpdate.exe -help, wyUpdate.exe /?, and wyUpdate.exe -?
Ultimately, the wyUpdate.exe -skipinfo works mostly the way I'm looking for. However, I need to also hide the very last Finished dialog so that the user doesn't need to click anything during the update process.
Hey Terence,
We're putting together the list of wyUpdate commandline arguments right now. But what you're looking for is in wyBuild. Go to File -> Properties -> wyUpdate, then check the "Close wyUpdate on successful update" checkbox.
Rebuild wyUpdate and include the latest wyUpdate.exe and client.wyc file with your app.
Tell me if this helps.
terenceHi,
I'm working with Terence on this, and checking that box didn't appear to do what was desired. To be clear, we're trying to make sure our app is updated during our install but right before we launch it. For reasons not worth mentioning, we want the app to get updated before we launch it rather than updating itself after it launches.
Judging by the other options on that same form (File -> Properties -> tab WyUpdate), it looks like that tab is related to WyUpdate updating itself (updating WyUpdate)... not options or preferences for our app.
I tried using "/fromservice" and it looks like it does the trick just fine, even though it's not a service. Any idea if there are any hidden gotchas we're going to run into?
Thanks!

Unless you're running wyUpdate from a service never ever use the "/fromservice" commandline argument. There are a whole bunch of gotchas.

That's wrong. When you check the "Close wyUpdate on successful update" checkbox you must press "OK'. Then you need to rebuild wyUpdate and include the client.wyc and wyUpdate.exe with your app.
The "should I close myself when the finish page is shown" setting is stored in the client.wyc file. So if you don't rebuild wyUpdate it won't know about the change of that setting.
Does that make sense?
