eUpdator System

eUpdator is a system to add automatic version checking and updating to your applications. The system was mainly developed for client / server solutions, where eUpdator provided an easy and secure way to be sure that all clients are running the latest version. Your product update is put on a server and eUpdator notifies all client users and updates their software. Since the eUpdator system also works over internet connections it is an easy way to add automatic updates through internet (like Windows Update) for all your distributed software. The eUpdator Application uses the eUpdator System in itself and automatically updates when there is a new version available on this homepage.

The eUpdator System is very easy to include in your applications and it is fully multi-threaded, meaning that all tasks are executed without interrupting your applications. eUpdator may download updates while the users continues using your application.

The system is built on two components, first you have the client. Clients are added to your application and when launched automatically search for a new update of your software. Version information is added to information files and put together with the updates. eUpdator uses this information to determine if updates are required. When updates are found the user is notified and can choose whether he wants to continue using the application while downloading or quit and wait for the task to be completed. The client also checks if the eUpdator Application is installed and if not it automatically downloads it from the internet and starts installing it.
 



Currently there are two different clients available, a VCL component for Borland Delphi developers and a DLL with an API for C/C++.

The other part of the system is the eUpdator Application. This is the applications that carries out the updates. It is also possible to use the eUpdator System without the eUpdator Client by adding information to the eUpdator Application in your installations. For more information please view the Mastering the eUpdator INI-file documentation.

eUpdator is a multilingual system, we currently have support for these languages: English, German, French, Spanish and Swedish. Future releases may include additional languages.
