Need Updater tutorial spefic to EXEs

The tutorial on Using the Auto Updater needs to have a separate version for EXE file updates.

I am working through the tutorial and trying to understand how it works for an EXE. I am finding it very frustrating because the tutorial does not directly address updates for EXE's, it only mentions them as an aside.

I understand the need for a simple example (i.e. "story.txt") to illustrate the basics of the Updater but a separate example directed squarely at building an updater for EXE's would really be great to have.

Thanks,

cats

Re: Need Updater tutorial spefic to EXEs

Hi,

We will consider adding a separate article for EXE updates in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.

Please note that the type of the update doesn't matter, they are all configured in the same way. Even if the update is an EXE or a MSI or any other type of file, you can use the approach from the Create Updates File tutorial.

Regards,
