Hi,
thank you for your reply. I had to work on other issues but now I am again
on this topic. Yes, I downloaded the file but now I don't know how to
replace the old application file with the new one just downloaded.
So I thought to download an auto-expanding file (.sea) then at the end of
the download I launch it so it expands automatically even if the user has
not Stuffit Expander installed on his machine.
The problem now is how to replace the old and running application file with
the one just downloaded. If I expand the file xxx.sea to the final file
xxx.app and in the same directory there is the old file xxx.app, I get the
new file as xxx.1.app. Moreover, I cannot trash, rename or delete the
running old application file. Any idea?
Best Regards
