First of all I love your program, it is more than I expected and for the most part very user friendly.
I am a light programmer and I am having a hard time understanding the instructions for setting up the Update Info URL. Can you explain a little clearer as to how exactly I create the online file. Is it truely a .txt file or what extension does it need to be? An example file would help a lot, so I can see exactly what is required.
Thanks

Thank you for your message.
Update Info URL - URL to plain text file that contains the update information.
File structure:
First line: "New version number"
Second line: "Download link to new version"
Example (update.txt):

Re: Actual Updater
Could I request more detail on the sequence of events when the Updater is invoked?
Re: Actual Updater
I would actually like to better understand this process. When one puts a version in the text file, what is it checking against?
Re: Actual Updater
How Actual Updater works:
1. AU downloads an update information file, e.g. "update.txt" from your website;
2. AU compares version numbers from downloaded file and from 'Uninstall.ini' (or "Updater.ini") file of currently installed application;
3. AU prompts to download new setup if version is newer.
