update app

Hello
I want to write a program to inform you to download the latest version of the software on the site for updates.

Do you have a solution?

Good afternoon!
There may be different ways. For instance:
On your site you can save a text file in which the latest version of the program will be indicated and a new file (new version) of your program will be saved.
Your program on the user's computer once a day can check this text file and compare [PubVersion] with what is indicated in the file.
If the values ​​do not match, a new program has been released, and you can let the user know about it.
If the user agrees to perform the update, your program downloads a new instance, places it in a temporary Windows folder, launches the update module and closes itself. The update module is a small program that deletes the previous program file and moves the new file from the Windows folder for temporary files to the place of the previous version of your program, launches it, and then closes itself.
