wyUpdate command line arguments

Hi,

What are all the wyUpdate.exe command line arguments? I know about these:

-quickcheck -justcheck -noerr

What others are there? In particular, we would like to pass an argument to wyUpdate.exe that tells it after the update, to restart our program.

Although the automaticupdater can do this, if there is an error in the middle of update (like we remove the network cable, answer no to UAC, or let UAC timeout), then automaticupdater seems to be "in limbo" generally. That is, we have not found automaticupdater to be reliable once an error occurs, so for that situtation we want to display message to user, exec wyUpdate.exe, and exit our app to let wyUpdate.exe do the update.

We have wyUpdate.exe found to be dependable, although we would like it to restart our application if possible after the update.

thanks

When you pull out a network cable then the AutomaticUpdater will show an error. If you cancel the UAC dialog then your app will relaunch with an error shown in the AutomaticUpdater.

You can always use the Executing files in your update. Just make sure you uncheck "Wait for execution to finish before continuing".

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

What are all the wyUpdate.exe command line arguments? A few I know about are:

-quickcheck -justcheck -noerr -hidefiu

Can you give me a complete list of all the wyUpdate.exe command line arguments, or is it anywhere on the wyBuild pages?

I tried running wyUpdate /help, etc. but it does not list the arguments it accepts.

thanks
