Hi guys, sorry for double posting this but my earlier post may've been overlooked amongst the spam as I didn't set the subject heading properly. Would really apreciate it if I could get some advise re auto-updates. I envisage normal rules:
a) my app checks to see if an update is available and prompts user to upgrade b) the update (aka patch) app is downloaded and installed I've researched options e.g. the Microsoft Application Updater Block and various home grown solutions on http://www.devx and codeproject etc - http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/10045 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/02/BITS/default.aspx My current thinking is I should buy or hand-code (or reuse) a homegrown mechanism for detecting new updates & prompting for their download, write a new wix patched install for each update, then execute the wix patch somehow from my app (not clear on this but I assume I have to exit my app then call the patch to install the new one in one step??) What would my best option be for providing an auto-update type facility prior to rolling out my application? Would appreciate any advice/options. I assume given this is very, very common there is either a third party component I can purchase or ..? more than one opinion really apreciated! :) regards ewart ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
