PcExpert Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi all, How to make some sort of update script for my program? I tried the following: #include <GUIConstants.au3> GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered $t1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 130) $t2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 25, 130) $t3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 40, 130) GUISetState (@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed GUICtrlSetData($t1, "Searching for updates ....") If FileExists("[url="file://\Serverupdates$instupdate.txt"]\\Server\updates$\instupdate.txt[/url]") Then GUICtrlSetData($t2, "Getting Update File ....") FileCopy("[url="file://\Serverupdates$instupdate.txt"]\\Server\updates$\instupdate.txt[/url]", @TempDir & "\instupdate.txt", 1) $read = FileReadLine(@TempDir & "\instupdate.txt", 1) GUICtrlSetData($t3, "New Version: " & $read) Else MsgBox(64, "Updater", "No update available") EndIf While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop Wend It works, but its to time-consuming. I think theres a better way to do it. Does somebody have an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The best method is probably to create a PAD file. Just query Google for "Create PAD file" George Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.Be sure to read and follow the forum rules. -AKA the AutoIt Reading and Comprehension Skills test.*** The PCRE (Regular Expression) ToolKit for AutoIT - (Updated Oct 20, 2011 ver:3.0.1.13) - Please update your current version before filing any bug reports. The installer now includes both 32 and 64 bit versions. No change in version number. Visit my Blog .. currently not active but it will soon be resplendent with news and views. Also please remove any links you may have to my website. it is soon to be closed and replaced with something else. "Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!"

PartyPooper Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Check my sig - there is a Update UDF that you can use or hack to make your own. It is primarily for updating a program via the internet, however, it wouldn't take much to modify for use over a LAN etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
