How to make installer with C++ - codforc - Mar 10, 2020
I want to make a downloader with C ++. When the downloader's executable opens, I want to download the files I want to the disk I want.
The only difference from normal downloaders is that it does this in the background.
How do I do this? Do you have a resource?

I found this link you may be interested in taking a look at. This shows how you can download and save a file using curl library.

Since you said you want to hide it in the background you can use this:
ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE);
If you don't know how C works I suggest you take a look at this website. learncpp.com

I know c works but what I want to do is in the form of a setup.
that is,i don't want download files from the internet.
I am trying to do a setup that places its files in directories like %systemroot%. This is offline.

You said you don't want to download files from the internet? But in your original post you said you wanted to make a downloader. Then you said you want it to be offline, where is the files going to be coming from if it's going to be offline? This is no longer a downloader if your using it offline.
