Hey guys, in this thread I am not going to release anything it's just for asking you guys what you think about updating an app by patching it.
I have a big project currently going on and the next step on my list is to create an updater.
I didn't want to create it using the "common" way :
- Check version in an hosted .txt file, then if new version available download it, or just navigate to the download url.
So, I've made some research and found a soft called WyBuild.
http://wyday.com/wybuild/features.php
They are updating the soft by patching it. The patch is , of course, way smaller than the hole exe, so downloading it is faster.
Now, what I want to know, do you have any ideas/concept of doing this using your own code ? I don't mind buying WyBuild, but I always prefer doing things myself.
Thanks alot,
