I have written a Java app and an NSIS installer. Works great. The issue is when there is a new version, the full installer needs to be downloaded and run (and possibly the old version uninstalled first).
How do you achieve the “Help >> Check for updates” system that Chrome, Firefox, dozens of other applications use to make staying current less painful.
Any guidance as to the direction to take would be appreciated.
Thanks.
You can use the VPatch nsis plugin (part of the default install) to generate patches so you don’t have to do a full install.
