    [Moved] Updater for Patches

    [Sorry for posting on th wrong thread]
    Hi guyz, I just want to ask something. I want to create a simple program that demonstrates the functionalities of patching. let us say I have a program and I updated something on it, So I want to patch my update in that program. Could you give me a good example, a sample program that demonstrate this kind of process, because I dont have any idea on how to it.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    C++ Programming is overwhelming.

    Dont let it overwhelm you or you'll fall into the oblivion of its perfection

    just compile you updated program into an exe then create an installer that "filecopy" your exe to the folder where your app was installed... or at least that's my idea...

    use the filecopy command in vb. i just dont know what it does with existing files but what i did is to first remove the existing file using the kill command then replace it with a new file using the filecopy command
