Updater
Is there an EASY way to add code to the installer to have it check a website for the version of your installer, then tell you if there is a newer version available?



Yes I know the code to NSIS Update is available as a .nsi file, but I have no idea where I would even start moddifying that file. I also realize there are download plugins, but my main want is a remote file version checker. If it's not even semi-easy then I probably won't mess with it. I just want something to check an online file version, and tell the user whether a new version is available before the Components page comes up.


Thanks.

Probably the easiest way would be to have a text file on a web site which contains the current version number. Then you could download it and compare with local version.
