Hi! Im in the process of designing this app, so far all it does is download WinZip from the official website, but thats just for a test, the real prob Im having is saving the preferences, I have got the download location sorted, its just the other bits Im stuck on!

I have also included the exported project, Id really appreciate it if someone (maybe more) could have a bit of a tinker about with it and help me sort it out!

Also, any other idea's of preferences / options to use would be wicked too :lol

There are many different ways you can save your preferences. You can save them to the registry, .ini file, sql db, or a text file.

I will make you a quick sample app.

Thank you Haydeng, I have already worked out how to save the download location to a .ini file and then load it at startup, but just not the others! :rolleyes

Or You can create a ini file with the extension " .dat " , encrypt-it , and you can work dynamically with this file , not sure if you understand me....
This .dat file may serve you as : preference settings , temp file , some app basic settings , and you can modify this file dynamically wihin the app.
I hope this is usefull !
