I was even looking for an application that did that long before knowing about InstantUpdate.

Namely, checking for updates, downloading full "zipped" updates, handling Vista UAC, and updating files & registry. The Professional version adds all the nice-to-have features: byte-patching & version management are the "big two". The Express edition would probably be enough for most one man teams with small products (1 Mb - 2 Mb). <blockquote>Even if I had, I wouldn’t buy it as I would be using it on my applications, which are free, it wouldn’t make sense.</blockquote> The <a href="/wyupdate/opensource/" title="Source Code for the wyUpdate Client" rel="nofollow">wyUpdate Client is open source</a>.

Even if I had, I wouldn’t buy it as I would be using it on my applications, which are free, it wouldn’t make sense.

Even if I had, I wouldn't buy it as I would be using it on my applications, which are free, it wouldn't make sense. This is a reason, though I'm probably not the group of people you are targeting this application to... Anyway, it seems like a great product. Haven't tested it yet, but I will in the future, if I'll use it or not, it will depend if the features I would really benefit from are only available in the Pro version or not.
