Creating A Mini Updater?
Jul 30, 2009
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

I wrote a VB.NET windows service and I'd like to know if there is some library or something that will provide me with a very simple mini web server. If my service is running, I'd just like to be able to type, in my browser:
[URL]
And have a status page popup. It will only be one single page and very simple html. Anyone know an easy way to do this before I attempt it on my own and over-engineer?

I'm making a WPF form that has a large map as an Image in a ScrollViewer. It also has a mini-version of the map as another image. I want to make it possible to click the mini-version of the map to scroll the big version to a certain area of the map. So I need to do the following:
1. When moving the mouse over the mini-map change the mouse cursor to a square with the appropriate size to indicate what part of the map will be shown.
2. Scroll the big map to the appropriate section when the mini-map is clicked.

I'm writing a program that will be searching files for the user and I need to find a good method to do so. Obviously it will need to filter the search to try to get the best result possible.

I need to read data from a GPS logger that plugs into a computer using mini USB.
I need to do this with C# but ive never used C# before so i am completely clueless.
I dont need code right now though the first thing i need to do is just recognise what processes this task consists of. What method is used what are the things i need to do.
I really need it explaining in as simple terms as possible ive tried searching the net for it for hours but terminology is so complicated and im so clueless i dont think i would recognise the correct information if it hit me in the face.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if it is possible (I said possible, not easy ) to create a file system mini filter driver in .NET? I'm assuming not but I don't really know of any technical reason why... just that every single example on the interwebs is C++.
I realise it would take me a very long time just to convert all of the functions and structures required to .NET before I even got started on the actual functionality of the filter driver itself but theoretically is it possible?

I 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 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

I 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()
