Build Settings

Output Settings

Output folder:

The directory that you want the TrueUpdate client and server configuration files saved to when it is finished building. You can click the Browse button to select an output folder. There are five files in total that will be saved to this folder, *.exe, *.dat, *.ts1, *.ts2 and *.ts3.

TrueUpdate Client filename:

The name you want to give your TrueUpdate client executable file. This can be update.exe, myupdate.exe or anything else that you want. The data file will also use this file name when it is generated. For example, if your filename was myupdate.exe, the data file would be named myupdate.dat.

Server files prefix:

The prefix that will be used for all of the server configuration files that are generated during the build. For example, if the prefix is myproduct, the files generated will be myproduct.ts1, myproduct.ts2 and myproduct.ts3. You can click the Change button to change the server file prefix. The recommended format is all lowercase alphabetic characters containing no spaces.

Note: Changing the server files prefix after your client has been published will break compatibility between the server data and the TrueUpdate client. Any changes to the prefix should generally be done before distributing your update.

Compress client executable

Compress the client executable during the build process using UPX compression. Generally compressing the file reduces its size by about 50%. You may find an uncompressed format useful if you need to do something to the file such as wrap it using a third party tool.

Note: Changing this setting after the initial release of the client executable will cause the distributed client executable to update itself when run.
