Update.exe gets the URL of the RSS feed from the URLUpdateInfo property in the MSI and handles the download if the feed has a greater version than the MSI product version. It's all native code, though, not designed to be called from an app. The idea is that your shortcut runs update.exe to check for a newer version, downloads it, and installs it, and avoids all the problems of in-use files. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
