Update? **Resolved**

I hate to ask, and I have tried to find the answer!
Would someone care to explain how to create an update for a Program??
Thanks !!

I think that I have found the Answer!
Create a new Installation Project with the new files that need replaced.
Is this Correct?
Thanks!!

Um, we need ALOT more information for this question.

If you created an installer for it, make the version number different and the installer will overwrite the older version.

Depending on how you made your program, you may be able to just send a DLL to the user.

Maybe make your own updater?

Really, we can't just tell you "Do x". you need to figure out what would be best for your users and impliment it. Do you want them to download the entire program again just to overwrite the old version? Do you want to make some sort of patch software that can update a program to the next version alot smaller than the other one? Do you want to make it so you can send DLLs to add extra features? ect... I could go on for pages.

PLease do then.....LOL.:wave: :D

Well, lets see!
It's a small Program and It is going to be updated via CD or floppy
I do see what you are saying! All I need to do is Update the exe to the next version, that’s it.
How would I do that?
Thanks!

Thanks!

I used to use a program that would take the original of 1 file, and a new version. Compare them and create an executable that could update the old software to the new.

The program was an old ass DOS program, but I'm sure you could find one somewhere. Hell it shouldn't be difficult to make a function to do that.

I think that I found what I need!
Thakns for taking the time!:)
