Error building the update file

Hi, when I try to build updates, it get the following error: "Error building the update file "version2.all.to.wyu"." I currently have nothing in the folder other than "wyUpdate", "Updates", and "MyApp.wyp".For my upload the updates part, I am using ftp.drivehq.com. I am using the same for the download sites. (It's ftp://ftp.drivehq.com/%file%". And, I started by creating a new project. I didn't like it, so I deleted it (The folder an everything). But, when I re-launched wyBuild, it was still there and I could still open it.

Any thoughts?Thanks

There are a few possibilities. The most likely case is that you don't have permission to over-write existing files. Try creating a new project and saving it to your desktop or your "My Documents" folder. Then rebuild your updates.

Tell me if that helps.

The current project is in My Documents. I took ownership of the entire folder, nothing. Is it because I have the wrong download site? (I know my uploading site works, I can connect to it). And, should I have my project folder inside the folder in My Documents? Or is that where after a blank update, I can add files and folders.

Thanks.

Click the "View Error Details" and tell me exactly what it says.

"Error building the update "version2.all.to.wyu"."

Sorry, its "Error building the update file "version2.all.to.1.1.wyu"."

That's it -- there's no other error information? Did building updates work before? Try creating a new project.

If that doesn't work then one of us will have to remotely debug this for you.

Yes, that's all it says. Double clicking on the error brings me nowhere, no matter where I am in the program. Would you like my .wyp file?

Yes, send it to support@wyday.com

Ok, I sent it.

The error was caused because you have a colon character in your product name (":"). We'll fix this in wyBuild 2.6.15 to strip out bad characters when saving the files to disk.

In the meantime you can fix this problem 1 of 2 ways:

  1. Remove the colon from your product name.
  2. Or, go to File -> Properties -> Update & server files and replace the "$collapse(%product%.%versionfrom%.to.%versionto%).wyu" with "$collapse(your_clean_name.%versionfrom%.to.%versionto%).wyu". That is, replace %product% with a cleaned version of your product name.

Thanks for spotting this bug!
