Automatic Updater

(1/2) > >>

Renegade:
I was looking for an automatic updater, and found this:

http://wyday.com/wyupdate/

It seems pretty good. I've tested it out some and it was good enough that I bought a license. ($70 vs. $250) Nice to save a few bucks there as I already spend WAAAAYYY too much on software as it is.

Anyways, thought that might be interesting for some people.

Oh, and there's a free version with BSD licensed source code as well.

AutoUpdater, Open Candy... a sure recipe to stay away from your software.

Ath:
Hm, sounds just like... DcUpdater :-[

And it also looks like a solution looking for a problem :huh:

What do you know about OpenCandy? I mean that you actually have first hand knowledge of, and not from [10] some third party that read an article based on a forum post about a blog post from someone who heard about GOTO 10.

I suppose that you've uninstalled:


* Windows
* Linux
* Adobe Acrobat
* Sun Java
* Firefox
* iTunes
* etc.
* etc.
* etc.
There's nothing nefarious about an autoupdater. You poll to see if there's a new version available, then let the user decide if they want to update.

Updates are for my software only. Not for anything else.

Jeez...

Like I said in another post, the thing I hate in this business is that anytime you want to get paid for your work, people come out of the woodwork lambasting you wanting to make a living.

Actually, it's much different.

I can't see any problems though. It's pretty simple. Check if a new version is available. Update if needed.

Shut up then!

I am not going to go down this path with you, Renegade. You seem to be annoyed at anything and anyone that does not think like or hold the same views as you do.

Your initial post was (intentionally, maybe) vague. I think you were hoping to get the kind of response that would give you a chance at another rant. Well than, I feel blessed for being part of a process that helped you release. Anyways, 'Automatic Updater' and 'Automatic Version Check' is not the same thing (both not welcome,IMO).

It should be a user's choice whether a software connects to the Internet every run.
(I do not have a funny video to attach here, sorry.  ;))

Bye.
