How to automatically update an application after installation using Advanced Installer?

I am using Advanced Installer to create an installer for a Windows desktop application. I want the application to check for new versions and update itself after the user has installed it.
I have tried using the Updater feature but I am not sure how to configure it in detail, especially the .INI file structure and the path to the update.
Has anyone done this before and can guide me on how to configure it properly?
Thanks everyone!

Hello,

For more details about using the updater, please check the following articles:

1. Using the updater

2. How do I programmatically integrate updater in my application

The second link will help you launch the updater everytime the user opens the application.

Best regards,
