Running wupdate.exe

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

Two things:

First you might want to add to the docs, that when you run the
wupdate.exe from your clarion app, do NOT turn the wait flag on<g>

Run('wupdate.exe',True)

locks up the calling exe and the update doesn't run until you kill it.


Second: I made a copy of the wupdate.sb5 and compiled the wupdate
script to a different exe (changed the destination exe) and then it
always told me that there was no application associated with this
updater or something like that. I used the original wupdate.exe and
it worked fine. Any ideas?

Message is: "WebUpdate The SetupBuilder WebUpdate client could not
locate an associated application to update. Please make sure that
this software is installed properly"

Good point! I'll add this to the docs, thank you.

You are right. The compiler always refers to the wupdate.exe file name.
If you change the name (of your own compiled WebUpdate client) to
wupdate.exe then it should work fine.

I'll check if it is possible to change this. If it is not possible,
I will add a note to the docs.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Yeah, I spent about 15 mintues trying to figure out what the heck had
gone wrong when I realized I was suffering from coffee dificiency and
had put the TRUE waitflag in the RUN statement<g>

Sounds good:) I just thought I could change it. I don't really care
what it's called, the message just threw me off<g>
