Updater in .NET

Grimmjow

Hey guys.

Well today i found my old updater for freelancer made in VB.NET that i made long time ago.
So i through maybe someone need this. It’s may be very buggy
becouse it is still Alpha version. So feel free to correct it or make it better if you want.
This updater has userfriendly Gui (All in one window) so it wont be a problem for a newby to run it.
The whole problem is .NET Not every player has .NET 3.0 - 3.5 installed.
Well for me it takes about 1-2 mins to update full freelancer with 12.000 files.
But ya. Connection playes a role. So if you have internet connection 700kb - 1mb
it can take longer.

Screen :

But well. Here is sourcecode.
If you want to use it, there it only one rule - let Autor label like it is. Dont change it.

Well … List file should look like this :

/exe/dacom.ini
/exe/gls_workaround.ini
/exe/gls_workaround.dll
/exe/libcurl.dll
/data/folder/file.ini
/dll/folder/file.ini

So you should only write file path from exe , data or dll folders.
For more information pm me ^^

Hell yeah a .NET developer about time we had one of those, all these C++ boys making us look bad

Well ya. ^^ I tryed C++ but never liked it. And then i found .NET
and coz i dont like C-like languages at all i took VB.

**Perhaps if it interests you enough you could collaborate on the development of Biocross, when the source code is released (not long from now tbh) I will PM you because funnily enough I need an auto-updater application making for it… I was going to do it myself but seeing as you have got something similar it would be easier for you to give it a go :).

If you don’t want to do it would you mind me looking at and possibly using parts of your code?

Cheers.**

Tsk tsk tsk tsk… That’s bad Hazard, you know these languages must DIE!

Grimmjow

I can give it a try. Pm me with more information

HazardFN

Will do and as for you FF don’t you yourself code using C++.NET? It’s all one language baby your one of us

At least it’s C++, I can go back and forth between managed and unmanaged in the blink of an eye. ^^

**Forget that, I will stick with the DBS library (C++ btw), it blows .NET to the curb

Good job on the updater!**

Thanks
C++ is nothing for me.
Btw Visual basic got some cool futures in 2010 edition.
