Hi! I am quite new and I want to know how you can make a file replace another (as in you find the file.... but I already know the openbox code, then it replaces it with a file INSIDE the program...?)
Thanks!

TwoStars,
Welcome to the Forums! There are various solutions to your post such as during the install of your program you include a small application that is ran before the min application that checks a location (website, FTP, Intra-net, etc.) and compares the file on the remote server with the one that is on the local machine. If the version on the remote server is newer that te version on the local machine, the application will copy the newer file to the local machine and it will run the main program. If the version on the remote server is the same as on the local computer then the application just runs the main program.
At work we have a site license for Wise Installation System Version 9 and we have developed a script that does exactly what I stated in the above paragraph (we use an FTP Server on our Intranet). If you are intrested in this solution, let me know and I will help you with you Wise Script.
Good Luck
:) thanks, I would like to find out more about that, but I don't think that's what I need? LOL I'm not too sure but I have a vague idea. :blush:
