Have a look at the InetFileUpdate UDF in my signature. It may give you the help you are after.

too much high language cant you make it simple?

[PartyPooper]

Wow, I thought I had commented it enough. I'm not trying to discourage you but updating a running file via the internet isn't a simple matter for someone who's new to AutoIt as there are many checks that need to be done. Considering my UDF does all those checks for you and all you have to do is include it and call it in any code you write, perhaps before you begin to fly, you may have to learn to walk by understanding a little more about AutoIt by using the examples it contains in the Help File. Specifically, have a look at the keywords, InetGet, InetGetSize, IniRead, _VersionCompare and most of the File... keywords under the File, Directory and Disk Management function.

maybe it helps

Global $rev = 10

_Update($rev) ;check for updates

;         or

_Update();Force update

Func _Update($ver = 0)
    Local $FILE_t = "\version.txt"
    Local $UPDATETXT = "http://domain.com/update.txt"
    Local $UPDATEEXE = "http://domain.com/installer.exe"
    InetGet($UPDATETXT, @TempDir & $FILE_t)
    Local $FILEHANDLE2 = FileOpen(@TempDir & $FILE_t, 0)
    Local $VER1 = FileReadLine($FILEHANDLE2, 1)
    FileClose($FILEHANDLE2)
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Local Version:" & $ver)
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Server Version:" & $VER1)
    If $ver >= $VER1 Then
        TrayTip("", "No Update needed...", 2)
        Return
    EndIf
    TrayTip("", "Updating to Rev: " & $VER1 & " ! Please Wait...", 1)
    Local $changelog = "http://domain.com/changelog.txt"
    InetGet($changelog, @ScriptDir & "\changelog.txt")
    ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\changelog.txt", "", @ScriptDir, "edit")
    ConsoleWrite(" UPDATING")
    InetGet($UPDATEEXE, @ScriptDir & "\Installer.exe")
    Run(@ScriptDir & "\Installer.exe")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Update

there are many free programs that allow you to set up files you need installed, but i like to use this one:

[ChromeFan]

you can also create a good looking Installer with autoit.

maybe you should change some vars to meet your scenario.

Try manual download the link, to confirm the it.

The path/names its case sensitive, if you are downloading from a Linux server.

Also, run it in debug mode, and see what is missing.

Kind regards, Linux
