View 2 Repliesi have made a program and added a update check button.If an update is available it lets the user know and if they click update a hidden webbrowser goes to the download address like:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://mydomain.com/myprogram.exe") End Sub Well this works and prompts the user with a file download dialog(default for windows)
But say they have "myprogram.exe" on there desktop and try to save the new updated one there it will ask to overwrite and thats fine but the program is in use as they have click update.

View 3 Repliesits possible to add a "resume download" feature to my program as something doesn't seem to be right when I want to download the latest videos from my server.The application will download most of the video, but will then stop at random times. After the download has stopped, no more data will be received. Thats why I need a "download resume" feature in my application, so the whole file will be downloaded and corrupt files aren't being saved.
Here's my so far
Private WithEvents wClient As New WebClient
Private Sub wClient_DownloadProgressChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Net.DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles wClient.DownloadProgressChanged
[code].....
I was thinking of adding a timer to my project, and if data has not been received for more than "x" seconds, the file will in a "paused" state.The next step would be "resuming" the download so the file is downloading again.
Other Notes:The files download fine in IE and chrome.The files are around 5MB to 30MB in size and upto 10 minutes in length.
I am very very new to VB.NET and would like to ask a simple question. I want to create a vb.net program and allow visitors to a website to download this program. However, I prefer not to have visitors download a zip folder. I would like to have a program that just gives a prompt to save in a selected folder, once the saved file is selected it prompts the person to download, and then when finished prompts the person to run the program. The reason is twofold:
1. I don't like the extra step involved with unzipping the file. and 2. I don't like the visitors having to look for the "main" file program within the new downloaded folder. So is there any way to have just one file for others to download without having it in a zip folder?
I want to create a program that will auto update another program i have created.

How can i do this?

I need Microsoft Visual Studio: Installer 1.1, where can I download it and why doesn't Microsoft still have it I know someone in IT has it. Then if it can't be downloaded from Microsoft why does this site [url]... still list it as being available for download. Doesn't anyone at Microsoft archive their old software just for the purpose of still having it around. If Bill Gates only knew what Microsoft has become since he drop out the scene he would be disgusted.
