Vb6 Simple update not working.

Hi I am using vb6 the update is quite simple going from version 11.1 to 11.2 The update is on the exe and adds one new database file. I ran through the step by step and created the blank...next I added the old exe file to the version 11.1 folder and the new exe and mdb files to the 11.2 folder. I then added all 3 files to the project in the respective files and folders tab.I setup my server...no issues here. Then clicked the buildwyupdate button and build updates buttons. When completed I uploaded the files...no issues here. For testing I placed the wyupdate.exe and client.wyc files in the version 11.1 program file folder from the original program installation.I double clicked the wyupdate.exe and it goes online and does checking but comes back that my program is up to date. Any help would be appreciated it looks like a good option for me if I can get it to work.

ThanksDon

Hey Don,

For testing I placed the wyupdate.exe and client.wyc files in the version 11.1 program file folder from the original program installation.I double clicked the wyupdate.exe and it goes online and does checking but comes back that my program is up to date.

It sounds like either (a) you did a test run of the update and you're using a client.wyc file that was updated from version 11.1 to 11.2 or (b) you built wyUpdate for 11.2 of your app and you're trying to run it with version 11.1 of your app. Either way, there's a quick solution.

In wyBuild, on the build page, you can select the version of your app that you want to build wyUpdate and the client.wyc for:

So if you select "11.1" from the dropdown, then click "Build wyUpdate" you can include that with 11.1 of your app and the update will work successfully.

Does this make sense?

Thanks so much... I did as suggested and selected 11.1 and did build and it appears to be working now.
