A Creator-programm is added and the reinstall-button is removed.

Like the Smart-Updater, but for your own project. Create the updatefiles and then upload it to any webspace.

You must only put the updater to your project (and create a setting in the UIU-Folder) and ready.

Complete files (but only the needed files)

mmm

a 'byte by byte' patcher would be interesting... something that generates 'diff' files that can be used to patch an existing file using minimal data

though i don't know it that would make sense or not

Difficult. A byte-Patcher must do more than a simple byte-by-byte. It must check, if a byte is only insert and so on. And this update will only work with one version. My updater can update ever version to the actual one.

I like the Create in the final beta. It is nice to be able to exclude files,
flag files for deletion, etc.

May I make a suggestion?

In the ListIconGadget could you include a column for file type AND make
the list sortable on type. For me that would make it much easier to
mark selections to be excluded, etc. since they are quicker to find by type
than by filename in many cases.

And a question.

Is it possible to include a file from another source directory other than
one in the tree of the selected source? For example, while building a
project from directory "C:\SomeThing" could a file from the "C:\"
directory be included?

Maybe later. At the moment i will do other things.

Sorry, at the moment not.

btw.: you found a new updater-version here

This version should not have the "2-seconds-Fat"-bug.

Some of the PB files included in the final beta do not compile. Looks
like you have put some functions into an include file that wasn't included.

UniversalInternetUpdater.pb
CreateUpdateInformation.pb

Also, the UniversalInternetUpdater.exe included will not connect from
my machine. Gets the "Found a problem. Did not connect" message
every time. ???

Spent some more time with the Creator (exe included) and it has
worked well.

So, moved on to work with the Updater today, but can't get out with it.

Wanted to test the individual packed files but since the updater is failing
I haven't gotten far with that.

Question: Is there an advantage to either method, one packed file or
individual packed files?

@TerryHough

Yes, the code need a new version of the includepack, which i don't published in the moment. Simple use the cut.*.pb-files. This files are complete.

The Example.txt is only a example and don't work.

>Question: Is there an advantage to either method, one packed file or

I prefer the on-packed-file, because every file need a little bit more space on the HDD (Webspace. try it: right-click on a file, preferences).

When you need a running example of the updater, try this:

Anybody got a tutorial/help file for this? Specifically I want to know if there is authentication or if it requires an open index.

Thanks
