UpdateBuilder

v1.5

Makes building and uploading updates easy, reliable and fast UpdateBuilder is a timesaving tool to make building updates for the TWebUpdate component easier. UpdateBuilder can generate the correct .INF file that contains the specification of what parts of the application need to be downloaded and how. It will also compress files if specified or build complete CAB files that contain the updated application. On top of that, it can automatically upload the update to the server. UpdateBuilder can be downloaded here  

Tips

1) When the update download is downloaded on the desktop or other folder than the folder where the application's EXE is located, make sure to use SetCurrentDir(ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName)); before calling TWebUpdate.DoUpdate   2) When the updated EXE is distributed as CAB file, make sure that TWebUpdate.CABExtract is set to false and that there are no identifiers compressed = 1 in the section for the application. It is the spawned updater app that needs to decompress the CAB file and not TWebUpdate in the application itself.   3) For C++Builder users, add following line in your app's main CPP file: #pragma link "wininet.lib"
