AutoUpdate
Is there any Auto Update feature that I can use or I have to adopt another software to do that. Currently I'm using NSIS 1.98

Thanks,

GrubUser

Auto Update
Can you be more specific? I have downoaded and installed NSIS 2.01b, but I haven't seen anything about the AutoUpdate.

Thanks for you help,

GrubUser

There are all the tools and libraries needed to create an autoupdater for your installer. The ZIP/BZIP2/LZ decompression DLL's can be used to decompress data files you download with the nsisdl.dll extension.

Not sure there is a simple example of an autoupdate install script out there yet.

Do a search on "nsisdl" and I'm sure you'll find several other threads in the forum on this topic. I remember reading several in the last few months.

You will probably want to upgrade to NSIS 2.x and not use the older 1.98 if you are using the new stuff.

Have fun.

At ${NSISDIR}\Bin you can find NSISUpdate.exe

Maybe you don't have the latest CVS...
Download the latest Nsis files:
