Hi Sam, We are using wyupdate and automaticupdater to update our application. One of my requirements are, I need to register one specific font in registry. So for that i created a batch file which registers the font in user system's registry file. I have done this only with one version of updated. For next version i did not put the bach file. Some of the user PCs not getting the font registered. Do i need to put that bach file in everyday update to get the font to be registered?
Thanks,Banu
Hey Banu,
Do i need to put that bach file in everyday update to get the font to be registered?
Yes -- for wyBuild 2.6.x. In wyBuild 2.7 were solving this problem using incremental patches (A->B, B->C) as an alternative to the direct patches wyBuild/wyUpdate currently uses (A->C, B->C).
Thanks for your immediate reply Sam. I have one more issue occurring quite frequently at user PC.
When click 'Check For Updates' error getting like "bad read or entry 0 from compressed archive" . It is not occurring every time. If they got the application folder where the updateEXE placed and manually run the exe then it is updating fine.
What could be the problem.
Thanks,Banu
Does the full error start with "Checking for updates failed ..."? If so, then the problem is probably that your server isn't sending the full file. Check the http logs on your server for errors.
Hi Sam,
It is just this error message "bad read or entry 0 from compressed archive" coming in a box with box title as "Unable to check for updates, the server file failed to load" this only info i have.

No problem -- we try to help as fast as we can.

This is wyUpdate's long way of saying "the file is corrupt". This can be caused by a number of factors. But the most common cause is a server that either (a) times out before the file has finished transferring or (b) gets overloaded and drops connections. You can check that theory by digging into your log files and see if the downloads complete.
Another possible cause is on the client-side. Do you have a flaky internet connection?

Hi,I have the same problem!
This is almost always caused by a server that doesn't send the complete file. Send me your client.wyc file to support@wyday.com and I'll see if that's the case in your instance.
Hi Sam,
Is there any option in WyBuild to have alternate download site. In our project, all the braches will be getting updates from their local barch servers. If the barnch server is down they should get updates from HQ. Is there anyway to add alternate download site url? and in uploading the updates tab, i want to order the branches means when we have 100 branches the 99th brach is getting updates very late.. so i want to send updates to that branch after HQ, can I do that?
Can I update only for few braches instead of all?
Thanks,Banu

Yes, in the download site list in wyBuild add another site. If you're talking about dynamic load balancing then you need to do that on your servers (or use a CDN).
Can I update only for few braches instead of all?
wyBuild's uploader is rather simple design. It uploads to all listed sites starting with the first site. If you want to do complex deplyment there are quite a few 3rd party uploaders that do this job well.
