"Advanced" Auto Updater?
Cali Alec
Ight, so I know how to make an Auto Updater, so it detects it, and downloads it as "newversion.exe", but I'm wondering if there is a way for it to download the update, and delete the old version, and rename the new version from "newversion.exe" to the applications name.

Thanks alot!

Hello,

Yes the update checker tutorial does exactly that. You can find it here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=155

When your application detects an update it shutsdown then launches the updatechecker.exe which downloads the update then deletes the old file and replaces it with the new one all automatically.

Happy coding! cooll;
