Unable to run WII examples.

Hi folks.
I've installed (what I think to be) the latest DevKitPro via the Installed, devkitProUpdater-1.5.0.exe. I have no problems compiling the examples, but when I attempt to run them on my WII I get the following error (via homebrew channel):
"This is not a valid wii application."
I'm using wiiload.exe.
Specs :
Latest DevKitPro (via updater/installer) [so i think]
Wii 4.1U
Example Used : {devkitpro}/examples/wii/template/
EDIT :: I have HBC 1.0.3 (not latest as I only have 4.1U on my WII [scared to update])
Anyone have suggestion as to what may be the problem? Thank you.

In order for us to help you, we'll need to ask you about the exact steps you followed to attempt to run the application... is it possible that you didn't specify a .dol (or .elf) file to wiiload?

Hm... everything seems normal so far.
There is, however, a thing we should need to clear up. What version do you have of the Homebrew Channel? If I recall correctly, receiving *compressed* data from wiiload wasn't implemented until recent releases. What version does your HBC say it has?

I am currently running 1.0.3 (which works with my 4.1U WII). I'm scared to update to 4.2 as I'm not sure if the update will brick my WII.

That's it.
Compression was not implemented in HBC until 1.0.5. Upgrade your HBC to the latest version, then try again.

Ahh, okay thanks for helping me. I wasn't sure if it was a WII problem, Toolchain problem, or something else. Glad to know. Thanks again.
