Internet Patching
Hi again folks I have a few questions:

Is it possible to use NSIS to download and install a patch? If so, is it possible to build one installer to do nothing but download from a URL and install multiple patches w/o updating the installer everytime we need to patch?

To download files you can use NSISdl. To patch files you can use VPatch. Examples and readmes for both can be found in the Contrib folder.

If you want one installer that doesn't need updating itself, you can make it download a configuration file from the specific URL. This configuration file will contain information about which files need to be patched, where the patches can be found and any other information it may need.

IS there an example for this?

Thanks!
