    Thumbs up How About Some Examples *Here* Too..?

    As there are for the other forum topics?

    Specifically, info on having the TU2 executable run automatically after "x" number of reboots.... I'm sure this is something that we would all use...

    I use a config file (ini) in the app folder that gets updated with (among other things) a LastUpdateDate variable that I also check when the application loads. If the date is greater than 2 weeks old, the app itself calls the update.exe to start the update process.

    That way, they are only bothered with an update if they are actively using the app...no unwanted 'update this' if they aren't using it...

    [edit]
    I agree though, an examples section would be nice!

    After thinking about this for a bit, I realized how easy this is to do with getting and setting registry values.

    Yes, that would work easily as well. I went with ini files because it was easier to modify during testing.
