[Tutorial] Make a Program Updater!
[Tutorial] Make a Program Updater!
This is pretty simple code.
This code is better than Ugleh's code, but respect that he thought of it 1st!
Materials:
VB 08 or 10
a web host with FTP (i used freehostia)
(optional) an FTP client (i used core FTP lite)
Procedure:
1. Get a web host.
2. (optional) get a FTP client
3. make a new project in VB.
4. make a text file with the code as:your build #
5. plan a name for the EXE
6. write it down! you will need it!
7. dont forget, PLAN A NAME!!! ITS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUCCESSFUL UPDATER AND AN UNSUCCESSFUL ONE!
8. Put text file in your debug folder
9. In load section:
10. Upload the EXE of your program
11. next...
12. Upload the text file with your build version, if your program was 1.2 and the text is 1.3 then it will update its self.
13. Done!
will add pics and more later!
End Result:
2 exes 2 txt files (also known as text files in this tut)

Going to try it out now and reporting it in a few mins if it's working :P
(It sure will lol)

NO ONE TEST THIS I FOUND AN ERROR!!!
There is no reason to code it, Vb.net has the ability to deploy and manifest a .exe with updates.
(decent tut though)
Just make it work......
