True but Codegear provides the Interface to it just like the rest of
windows. I had seen this reference you gave before I posted. It's
identical to what's in the help and really doesn't say a damned thing
that might be particularly informative about it -- and it certainly
doesn't reveal that it is worthless. Since I'm using delphi, not vs, I
was hoping other delphi developers would have alternative ways to
accomplish this.
I guess I'll just execute the thread, try to download the file(s)
without checking first to see if Internet is available and maybe set a
timer so that it doesn't just hang. I'm doing this to download a small
compressed file that will tell me if a new version is available and
also some information that I want to auto update. If a new version is
available, I'll ask the user if they want to get and install it and
then download the upgrader in the background and send a message back to
the main thread when it's ready to install.
Thanks for your reply, Remy.
