View 2 RepliesI've made an application and i would like to auto update it via my website.the only problem, its that i checked most of the tutorial on youtube, but none of them work correctly. I mean, when i press check, its check the Product Version but its appear me 1.0.0.0 but my application version is like 1.1.1.1...
Heres my code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim read As String = ProductVersion
Button1.Enabled = False

I would like to make an Auto Updater like this one on this thread: [URL] but without having to click on any buttons to update the files... I just want my launcher to update users's files when they start it... As I am beginner in VB.net (I started like two days ago) I really don't know how to code all this!

I want to make an auto-updater, and I have FileZilla, 1500mb of free server space, 100GB of bandwith a month, and visual basic 2008 express. I have tried to make it goto a webpage, cheach for a True/False label(in PHP), and if True, find the update on the server, if false, display a "No Update Found" message.
View 4 Repliesmade a program on visual basic and i want it to update, is it possible to on startup check its current version with some text on my website? and if the website numbers are higher it updates a file from the site? if i can how do i do this, and seeing as ive done the foolosh thing of making the whole project as once big exe not dll's can i get the updater to download the new exe if there is one and replce the old one with it
View 1 RepliesI had a post on it but i ran into the same problem. My program downloads a text file from server and checks it.
It works but it makes the program crash for 4-9 seconds.I was thinking of downloading the file more slowly or using Threading()
I'm trying to make an auto updater. It kind of works, but I've got some problems.I need to make the download threaded or something so you can use the program while downloading. I've tried the background worker and now the Application.DoEvents(), but I didn't get it to work.
The second problem is that the program crashes after having downloaded in a while. It may be because it isn't threaded, but I don't know.Anyways, here's my

I have this code for my update checker. It loads a blank text file on my server containg the current version. I have it set to naviagte to this url then searches the web browser for the current version. If it cannot find it then there is a newer version, and a button becomes visible which lunches a webpage that has the current version. I would like it to loop my Check_for_update code until the webbrowser1.statustext = "Done" Below is the code i have but it doesnt work for some reason. Private Sub Update_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Having no real experience with updater-style applications, basically I want a secondary EXE to be bundled with my application which will update the program file. Its a one file application - so its a simple process. Its just for the PC's inside the business.Currently, I think it will be easiest to get the updater to check a text file uploaded onto our server, and determine whether the running version number is above or below that. The new application will then be downloaded from a simple http link.
-I have an interface designed, so that will be attached to my request.
-Is it possible for the updater to update itself? How could I request that?
-Is there any way I can ask that the link which the updated file will be downloaded from is definitely hidden from the user?
-Will the developer incorporate error handling for if the program is running when the updater runs? How do I ask for that?
Is there a better way for the updating process to run? What other things should I ask the developer to include?
I have a datagridview bound to a bindingsource. This datagridview contains one column which is a combo-box.
Upon a click on a button,I change the underlying datasource. The selected values of the combo-boxes change.
But the change doesn't appear on the screen ! To make the changes visible (refresh each combo-box), I have to hover on the datagridview with the mouse or use the scrollbar !
Question 1 : why do I see this ?
Question 2 : what should I do to make the changes immediately visible ?

View 1 RepliesI developed an application and created .msi file for deployment using "Visual Studio Installer" and it need to be installed on nearly 1000 systems on a network. For this i gave this msi file to sysadmins and they deployed it through GroupPolicy in domain (as all the systems are in a DOMAIN). I used "Visual Studio Installer" for the below reasons
1. while installing the application the installer will copy some files help Files in to specific path, from where the application will open from a menu click event.
2. I made the installer to make this application to launch at startup.
3. Added Icons for the Shortcuts and also for the list in ControlPanel Add/Remove Programers list.
Problem i am facing is when ever i have an update, i have to ask my sysadmins team to deploy it from group policy. I want to make this as auto updater so that it can be updated without the help from the sysadmins. It also saves lot of time for us in communicating.
What i want is, I will place the updated version in some centralized place. Application at user end should check for the updated version and need to updated. Since i made my application to launch at StartUp, while updating the application should exit and to the update.
NOTE : Need to consider that no user in the domain contains admin rights.how can i overcome my issue.PBL (Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Win 7 64 bit Ultimate)
I have created a application that I have installed on the user computer. However, I want the application to be self-updating. But I am not sure if this would really update the application.The application will download all the files from the web server, and replace the files in the directory where the program as been installed to. The user will restart the application.I am just want to be sure, because I can't replace the installed files with the updated ones. As the application will be running. So really the application cannot delete/replace itself

View 3 RepliesI have been working on a Minecraft Skin Downloader for some time and learning a few things here and there but making an auto updater on VB is one of the things i am having trouble with. I have made one on VB but problems arise here is the code for the updater. I have it where in a text document in dropbox(Public) and it will say the version like 1.0.0.0 for example and since that text document can be changed you will be prompted to update when I change it but I need to have the version of the updater.exe to 1.0.0.0 in order for it to work and say that your up to date. Because at this point it will just keep prompting you to update because you don't have the 1.0.0.0 version the of the updater.

I have a .NET application. I check the version against a online XML document to see if a update is needed it will notify the user if there is. This is a standalone executable. Ideally i would like the application to be able to update itself the issue obviously is it can't download and overwrite itself when running.I was wondering if anyone ever had a situation similar to this and found a good solution. I was thinking about maybe creating a VBS script to close the app handle the update then relaunch the program?

I have encountered a small problem with my application due to the updater I built in.Basically the way the updater works is:1) Check for updates2) Download the new .exe file as "tmpMyApp.exe"3) Download "Rename.exe"4) Launch "Rename.exe" and exit application.5) "Rename.exe" then deletes the old application and renames the tmp one with the origional name "MyApp.exe"6) Launches "MyApp.exe"This all works completely fine for me, except when the program is installed in "C:Program FilesTinyGrab" this causes my app
View 3 RepliesOk im going to make a updater for a current program. And I found this code on this website.
Dim OnlineLocation As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs(0)
Dim LocalLocation As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs(1)
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(OnlineLocation, LocalLocation)
MessageBox.Show("Update Complete")
But i was wondering, once ive made it. How do u actually pass arguments to it.
Its about updating, it check a remote server for version. For example i have version 1.0.0 so the updater says that there is a update (1.0.5)

If no, there is another options to do so? "i know that i can use a windows service or startup applciation, i mean other options" UPDATE: i want any other options, because the server may be shared so have no access on its windows to make a service or a start up.
