Invoke Internet Connection

Is this possible?

I'm trying to create an online udpater, and have an option to AutoUpdate, but I don't know how to invoke an Internet Connection.

I saw a post where someone had created a DLL that did something similar to what I'm doing...it may have had a connectiion thing, but I'm not sure, but since I needed to different things also, it wasn't suitable.

Has anyone else managed to do this?

Thanks for your help!

Try NSISdl in the contrib directory under the main NSIS directory.
If you don't have it install NSIS again and do full installation.

Thanks Amir

but I'm already using this and it rocks!! The problem is that if the Internet connection is not there, it will not invoke Dialup or IE Connectivity.

I found that maybe a need a small C/C++ app or DLL with the "InternetAutodial" function capabilities, but this is way beyond me, and I don't even know if that is what I need.

Any further ideas?

Thanks!
