firefox update techniques

[Alain R.]

Hi,

I would like to develop an application which would include a similar
feature as firefox has.

1. i mean during starting application, it will check a folder/network
folder/internet address to find if a new version of itself exist.
2. if yes, then it download/copy it to "temp" folder.
3. close itself
4. install the new version
5. restart

How can i do that ?
i mean i know how to check a folder or a network folder, but i do not
know how to check an internet address + folder.

Could someone help me please ?
thx.

Re: firefox update techniques

Your best bet is to look into Click-Once deployed applications.

This update process is all built into that deployment mechanism, and it
works quite well.

Other easy options include using the new Install Shield as your deployment
engine - they've got auto-update now as well.
