My app has the added twist of being client/server - soe updates will need to be "pushed" out to clients from the server, others may require the server to be downed, etc. TIA, Andrew Back to top Ralf Mimoun Guest Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2005 10:42 pm    Post subject: Re: Strategies / Patterns for Self-Updating Apps Andrew wrote: Quote: Hi All, Having just watched Acrobat Reader update itself fairly smoothly from 7.02 to 7.03, and having an app of my own that SHOULD work this way, I got to wondering if there were any resources out there with "best practice" approaches, design patterns, model implementations, etc for self-updating apps. I use TWebUpdate from TMS ([url]http://www.tmssoftware.com)[/url]. It works, you can update via Internet/HTML, FTP and LAN. No patterns, no model implementation, just two config files (one to describe the version on the server, one to control the behaviour after the update (app restart etc). Very simple to use.

Usually searching in b.p.delphi.thirdpartytools.general gets me whatever I'm looking for. Take a look at the goUpdater post over there. Might be what you're looking for. -- Lee Back to top somebody Guest Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2005 11:35 pm    Post subject: Re: Strategies / Patterns for Self-Updating Apps "Andrew" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote [...] Quote: got to wondering if there were any resources out there with "best practice" approaches, design patterns, model implementations, etc for self-updating apps. It's a fairly simple process, you seem to be overthinking.
