I'd always had the user download the update _setup.exe directly from my website; however, it was always a manual notice to them. With this new approach, it checks the version stored in the table and compares it to local version, and if the web version is greater (i.e., an update available), it downloads the blob (which is an inno setup) and runs it. I don't want to download the blob if it's not necessary. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
