View 4 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'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 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.So, I was thinking that I could download into another directory, if the program is installed in this directory 'program files/application/1.0.0' then I could download the files to 'program files/application/1.0.1'.However, when the program restarts, how can it know that it has to execute from the 1.0.1 directory?
View 1 RepliesOk im going to make a updater for a current program. And I found this code on this website.

MessageBox.Show("Update Complete")
But i was wondering, once ive made it. How do u actually pass arguments to it.
made 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

I'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

View 1 RepliesI 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 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)

View 3 RepliesI 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?

View 2 RepliesI 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 RepliesIts 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)
[Code]...
I have develop a software which can run in different machine and when any update is available then it automatically update all the software dll and exe along with own.
In my software package, I have a Soft_updater.exe which run when update is available but in this case Soft_updater.exe runs and wants to update along with other update.In XP and windows 2003 server it runs perfectly but windows 7 and windows 2008 server it can not run. It's stop in process mode and wants an administrator permission so that it can update itself and along with all.My process have also "runas" administrator right.
I have change user account control settings as in Never notify me and give the software folder along with all exe in administrative rights. I also login as an administrator. But still now I have not solve this issue yet.
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?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to validate a groupbox with a couple radiobuttons in it to make sure that one of the radiobuttons is selected?
Heres why I need this. I need a user to be able to select their class rank out by way of radiobuttons in a groupbox. When they click submit, I need to validate that atleast one of the radiobuttons got selected and if not display a messagebox.
I got one reply early of:
If myGroupBox.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton).Count(Function(rb) rb.Checked) = 0 Then
'There is no RadioButton checked in myGroupBox.
End If
Is there any other ways other then that? Preferrably a more 'dumbed' down way? This is for just an entry level VB class, I would prefer not to use something of that nature if there is another way.
