Hey Vivek,
I would like to know if the DaysBetweenChecks property of the automaticUpdater does not require us to necessarily have a menustrip and a submenu .
You don't need to use a menu. But it's always good to give your users the option to check for updates.
I changed the system time to a day ahead to check if that works , but it does not seem to update the application at all .
The AutomaticUpdater only checks for updates once at the start of your program. SO if you're rolling your date forward make sure you restart your app. Also, if no updates are available (or a non-critical error happens) nothing is shown to the user.
Does this make sense?
