Hi,

I have written two Activex EXE components called Uploader and Downloader using
visual basic 6.0. These components will be launched from our web site to download
and upload files from our server. Actually i have requirement to autoupdate these components whenever new versions are avaialble.
If we have have some client program, i would have launched upadte checking program before launching client application. But these are components just launched from web.
so, its not good idea to check whenever the component is launched.
Please anybody suggest me some good workaround for this autoupdating components?

thanking you advance

Why not have an Update function in your activex exe's. In that you could then copy the file from your dev location onto the pc that is running your activex exes.

But, if i have update function inside activex, the files referenced in activex exe and the activex exe itself can not be updated right ?

Praveen

Good point

hmmmm, I'll have a think and get back to you  

on the site, you could have a text file containing the address of the newest version of the control, which the activeX control reads and then uses the addess in the text file to download the newest.
