Alain It's the former rather than the later. Is there a current standardized protocol that you use within your own software to make that check at startup? I'm trying to use best practices and not re-invent the wheel. This may not be a real WiX question but since this forum deals with software deployment issues I thought I raise the issue anyway. Thanks Paul

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [WIX-users] Asking a website about the latest release of a product Are you looking for updates to your own software that the user is installing, or third-party software (like the Java Runtime Environment)? We do the former in our software (not WiX) at startup, not in WiX. For the latter, we just bundle the current version with our own software installer using burn.
