I have an application almost ready for production but I really have no way of notifying the user. I actually would no where to start
Our files are hosted as such
\\server\Vendor\Application Name\Version\Vendor Application Name Version.exe
So end goal is if the application is updated, the user gets a prompt to download ( this is another form I create ) or cancel and wait for next time.
Would this be a Job of some sort I constantly run in the background?
Then it's an updater file that kills process, finds the files and installs them silently, once it detects the registry change of the version, it starts the new application up.
I'll be completely honest and say I'm lost when it comes to the jobs and job tracker function
Auto Update Application

You make it sound so simplejvierra wrote:Just check the file date and call an update script then exit. After update is copied restart the exe.
As usual, I over thunk it. Will give me something to look into. Thanks!
