Look at www.about.com under VB programming!
I have found a tutorial there, that shows you how to do it!
Thank you for your reply - I had a look to About.Com but I didn't found what I searched for (I wasn't long there). Can you try to tell me where (at least roughly) is it there?
Thanks
Try to search on AutoUpdate
Thanks for replies, thats it. :)
The sample uses INET control, which is not avaible on Win95.:( How can I use inet features under older Windows?
At second, the sample on About.Com uses a second EXE to upgrade the first. How to upgrade itself?
If you are using VB5+ it should be there....
The file name is: c:\windows\system\shdocvw.dll
If you can't find it, try upgrading to Win98 :o )
The file you've mentioned is installed with Internet Explorer and you needn't have it to access the files.
(Maybe I'm wrong - then please tell my how to use this DLL to download a file)
I think about low-level API functions, that could be in W95 too...
