    Resolved [RESOLVED] How To Update Via Setup And Not Lose Settings, etc?

    I am writing a game and app version of Doom. I wish to get it to update via web or disk drive. And I want to know how to update it without losing all settings, saved games and other things like that.

    So I wish to make it better for the user after I have brought out the game and then add to it. Like an online virus checker, can update its virus database. I wish to update my game, in the same way as such.

    How can I do this, quite quickly without much code in doing so?
    I have a huge free products range, of computer software in which you can download using any kind of 64-Bit Web Browser. Also there is coming a Social Networking section that I am making on my Website...

    |Ambra Productions Inc. | The Black Sun Society | The Black Shield | Ambra College | Church of the Black Sun | Ambra Productions Inc's Homepage | Boomtick Venues: Ambar Nightclub, Jack Rabbit Slim's, Villa Nightclub and Lucy's Love Shack | Pasta Ambra | Fish Feast Company | Wallet Wizard | Ambrose Liquor | Ambar Tavern | Ambra University | Ambra Cheese |

    Do you wish to do unpaid work for me??? If so, the PM me on this Forum, and then we can get to work, programming for the future of computers go by the name of ThEiMp. This is my ghost writers name. Also my nickname, means that I am: The Imperial of the Technology Industry, so then to make it really short, I just then wrote: The Imp, which is where I get the nickname from...

    I have many sample files i distribute with my program that are in a resource file
    These sample files are no longer samples after being edited by the user. When the program loads it checks for these files and if they do not exist they are extracted from the resource file. Then for program updates:
