hi all

can you help me to solve my problem

here is the thing

i have build a software using AMS7

but the problem is that when i upload it i found out that there was some

corrupt exe's in it and i don't know how to make an update file

to replace the corrupt exe's with working ones

so if any one have an idea

please help :D

you could make another ams app that has the fixed exe's in it and simply have the user select the installed dir and have it copy/overwrite the old one's. Or you might look into IR's TrueUpdate [very nice proggy made for this sorta thing]

thanks for the replay

about True Update I have downloaded it before but i think it needs An Update

Server which i don't have at the moment so what i am asking is can i create an

update file without needing to connect to a server?

and thanks again.

in the files options if you want to override them all just select all
SUF:
File Properties > General Tab > at the bottem chat to Always Override existing Files
AMS:
Just when you copy a file tell it to overide true

kinda simple

What do you people mean by "'I hate True Update"?
I am not a programmer but I was considering purchasing Trueupdate as a way of "pushing"new and updated presentations/pdfs to our sales team using a "Check for Updates" button

Looking at your emails, I am a bit wary of getting out of my depth

Would appreciate if someone can provide the upsides and downsides before I make my decision
Thanks
