WD24: Application update via HTTP access
July 15, 2021 09:02AM
Hello,

I thought that updating my customers' applications "via HTTP access" would be great, so I have given it a try.

On HTTP server side:
1. The
1. It works every other time. (I can live with it).
2. The messages on customers' computers are in French. This can't be. I need other languages.

Does any one have any experience with it ?
How can I edit the messages ?
Should I drop the Windev solution and write my own ?
Are there any work-arounds ?

Your help and opinions will be very welcomed
Thanks in advance

it takes one hour to write your own and be in full control...

httprequest to get a text/ini file with the version information (and anything else you want, like mandatory/optional, message for customers, announcements, ads for extra modules for the software, etc) and the download url for the installer

check version: if newer, httrequest to download the installer, shellexecute of it and endprogram...

And if you don't wan't hte user to need admin rights, download a wdl or a component instead and replace your original that was in the data directory...
