AutoUpdate my prog

[Romain TAILLANDIER]

Hi group

I have a runing program on a PDA, that it never close, named TheProg.
sometimes it have to upgrade to the lastest version, so i have a desktop
program (thank you OpenNetCf.Desktop) that copy a CAB file in some directory
on the PDA.
Now my program know it have to uprgrade by verifiying if the CAB is present.
then it launch an other program named UpDater, and close itself.
Updater call to wceload, extract the cab, and then run the new version of
TheProg, and close itself.

So it works fine.

Now, is there a better way ?
I have search but find nothing more efficient, or no other idea.
I heard about 'mickey mouse' ? but google speak about disney ...

thank you
ROM

ROM,

I don't know about mickey mouse (except the Disney one) but it seems to me
that you have a good solution already.

thank for that !

But no, the last version i have deployed show a messagebox errorbefore
close.
I can't do ok on that box because the update app is bring to front.
So the main app don't close, and the cab can't be extracted.

SO I have a problem. please see my new post about WCELOAD.

the main question is Can i force a reboot AFTER a cab extraction ?
that will save me, becase at the boot i can do eveithing i want.

thanks
ROM

Romain,

I think I'd just get rid of the messagebox error. Is it something you could
have prevented or trapped?

It is a stupid eror and not important, corrected in new versions, but it is
deployed and i have to do with it !
thanks for your help

Romain,

I do understand. ;-) I see that Ilya has answered your question on another
thread.
