All developers know that updating their application is very important. There is no such thing as a bug free software. This is why we all need to update our applications to the latest version. Each new version fixes security flaws, errors, and/or compatibility issues. Updater makes the process of updating any application very easy. It automatically checks if there is a new version of an application.
Updater is designed for software producers. It can be embedded in almost any application, in order to automatically update it to the latest version. Updater comes with a couple of examples, which should help you integrate it into your own software.
The program uses a special settings file, which should be modified by the developer. The individual options that may appear in this file are documented in the user's manual. This manual is distributed along with the Updater application. An accessible Web server is also a must-have, in order to be able to automatically update your products (applications). It's also required to create an XML file containing the current version's details, and copy it to the Web server.
Pluses: You can configure the program to do "sequenced updating". This means that your clients will update your product version by version, depending on how you configure the settings and the XML file.
Drawbacks / flaws: This is a rather small application that comes with a very big price tag.
In conclusion: I think any developer can write his or her own updater application. If you don't have time to do this, you could try Updater.
