Hi,
Some time ago I asked how to create packages that are able to update
previously installed files.
Now, I am returning to the above subject, because none of the answers
helped me to resolve my problem.
The task is very simple. Suppose we have a file, say x, installed
using the installer package created by PackageMaker.
During the installation of x, user had freedom to choose the location
for x. He also had to authenticate himself as administrator in order
to proceed with the installation. Suppose that a new version of x is
available. What I need is to create the installer package that will
replace the old version of x with the new one. This updater should
only ask the user to authenticate as administrator and should not ask
for the destination (which should be exactly the same as the location
of the old version of x).
My application checks if its new version is available on the server.
If it finds the one, it downloads and then calls the updater and quits.
Could someone send me a simple example of such updater?
Regards,
Piotr Rychlik
