idea: Install program via downloading single .dcupdate

(1/3) > >>

justice:
Would it be interesting to download an run a .dcupdate file for a program which is not installed yet - which launches dcupdater and let dcupdater install the program?
That way you'd never have to point to the executable and the installation could be zero-click. That's pretty amazing.

I guess it would work without much extra development for programs that have an installer, and that .dcupdate files for zipped archives would be installed inside a MyDocuments\DcupdaterApps\<zipfilename> if a default path is not set within dcupdater (as its a portable app).

Imagine all coding snacks pointing to a dcupdate file, wow.

You might want to consider doing this via an application called GetIt. http://puchisoft.com/GetIt/

You can create your own repositories courtesy of AppSnap, which GetIt uses as it's 3rd party repository manager. Best of all, GetIt integrates with FARR!

GetIt has been mentioned here before:

That's the most confusing page i've seen in a long time :P I'll need to look at it later, but I really prefer to use dcupdater

40hz:
Don't blame you. It is not a page suitable for casual reading. ;D

BTW: I prefer dcupdater too. 8)

mouser:
