the best autoupdater program for nsis setups

kursat · 16th March 2011, 10:06

hi all,

we created our setup file with nsis script, it size is about 450 mb. updater file size is to being about 150-200 mb when we release a new setup file.

we use "catenalogic updater program" but it is not updating properly. because update file is very big.

we want to change our updater program. can somebody offer a updater program. it will be compatible for nsis setup or nsis script.

best regards...

This being an NSIS forum this probably isn't necessary to say, but I'll go out on a limb here: The best updating installer for NSIS is the NSIS installer that you create yourself. >_>

Maybe you should use some downlander plugin:
put your data file on some server and download it to user's machine when he runs your setup.
All you need is to change data on server (once) and all installers will always download fresh data without any rebuild.
