WiseUpdate offers an easy method for updating your application on your end users’
computers, ensuring that end users are always working with the most current version of
your application. Based on settings you specify on the WiseUpdate page, WiseUpdate
installs a small client application along with your application. You can place a shortcut to
this application in the end user’s Startup group so that it checks for updates when the
destination computer is booted or an end user logs on to Windows. WiseUpdate Client
checks for newer versions of your application at the Web location you specified. If it
finds a new installation, it downloads and runs it.
WiseUpdate, by itself, does not deploy the current version of your application; it simply
adds a Web-based update mechanism to your end users’ computers. The first time you
configure WiseUpdate, you enable that version to check for later versions over the
Internet. Once WiseUpdate is integrated into your application, it simplifies the upgrade
process for you and your end users for future updates to your application. For details,
see Configuring the WiseUpdate Page on page 288.
When WiseUpdate runs on the destination computer, the end user can change proxy
server information or the check interval by clicking the Advanced button on the first
dialog of the wizard.
