How can I make an automatic updater for my visual studio 2010 c++ application ? I do not want any kind of advanced features. Any free application that can provide a notification that "A new version 1.2.2 is available" ?
Actually right now I just want only notification to the user not download the software or something like that.
When a user run the application then simple check the new version, if available then a message box or notification appears.
My idea is that the application simple check a "http://www.site.com/update.txt" file which has a number if number increment in future, then msg box appears that "a new version is available, Visit website" .. its simple but how can I check in VS2010 C++ ?
Sparkle is the best choice I found. Its amazing. Here you go http://winsparkle.org/
