PC Tools Spyware Doctor Update functionality

Good day,

I was wondering if wyBuild offers the ability to build update utilities that follow the same principal as PC Tools Spyware Doctor in that many of my apps could be registered with a management system, that displays the apps and wheter they have updates or not within a Grid, within a single Management Consol, and accordingly update those apps in a multi-threading environment (download all availalble updates at the same time for the different apps)

Further to this, could a single app have a Management Utility within it to show all the files are required to be updated within a Grid, and then download the single files Asynchronously.

Thank You

Hi Lionel,

Yes this is possible. wyUpdate, the updater app, is completely open source and you can modify it however you like.

If you don't want to modify wyUpdate, then you could design a small app that calls wyUpdate once for each one of your sub-applications. Use the silent checking commandline arguments. This way you could check & download updates for each of your apps all within a management utility.

With some clever programming you could even use the AutomaticUpdater to automate the whole process to be completely asynchronous.

Tell me if this helps.
