-How can I check for a new version of my application upon installation?

I feel like I remember installing an AIR application and during the install being alerted that there is a new version, and a prompt as to whether or not I wish to update.

-How do I alert the user, via textfield, that there is an update for the application and to run the ‘Check for updates’ option?

I do not want to force the check for updates, ApplicationUpdaterUI, I want to notify users that there is a new version, and then allow then to bring up the ApplicationUpdaterUI.

Currently, upon initialization the application is popping the ‘Check for updates’ dialog box. I would greatly appreciate some insight on either of these two questions.

I would like to note that I am developing using FlashDevelop3 RC2 and Flex 3 SDK which contains the AIR SDK and the AIR Update Framework.

  1. I don’t think you can check for updates during installation. What you could do is install a basic shell app that always loads in the actual application as a swf file. You could even download this swf file the first time the app is run. After that you can always check for a new version of the app (swf) and download/update accordingly.
