Changing the download folder

[NewsArchive]

When I have done a lot of updates.. or do a file structure change, I have
the program download the updates from a different ftp folder (from then on).
This works great. Unfortunately I can only make this happen if the user
installs the full install.

I have a separate install just for updates. However, I thought I'd try
uploading the final version to my normal ftp folder (8.5) using the update
install... and from then on the program would start downloading it's updates
from 8.6 ftp folder... that didn't work as setupbuilder told me it couldn't
find anything in the 8.6 folder, so it was obviously looking in the 8.6
folder right away... is there a simple way to work around this?

Hopefully I made myself clear?

You only have to change the HOST_DIRECTORY registry value for your
installation to point to a new web location for web updates.

You can use the "Edit Registry..." script function to modify the above
mentioned value in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lindersoft\WebUpdate\A pps\<YOURGUID>

After that, wupdate.exe and wucheck.exe use the new location stored in
HOST_DIRECTORY to check for updates.
