System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000); File.Delete(@".\Demo.exe"); client.DownloadFile("yourhostinglink", @"Demo.exe"); MessageBox.Show("Updated To The Newest Version.", "Updater", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information); Process.Start(@".\Demo.exe"); this.Close();

in catch type somthing like this to know if there is an error: MessageBox.Show("There May Have Been An Error.", "Update Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error); Process.Start(@".\Demo.exe"); this.Close(); this should fix everything and make it work for sure. I will Share my code because mine finds the program on the desktop and updates it:

first part:--------- WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); if (!webClient.DownloadString("My Paste Bin Link").Contains("2.1")) { if (MessageBox.Show("New Update Found! Do You Want To Update?", "Updater", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes) using (var client = new WebClient()) { string desktop = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop); string folderName = Path.Combine(desktop, "Folder Name"); string path = Path.Combine(desktop, "Folder Name\\Updater.exe"); Process.Start(path); Application.Exit(); }

2nd part--------- WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); var client = new WebClient(); try { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000); string desktopPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop); string path = (Path.Combine(desktopPath, "My app.exe")); File.Delete(Path.Combine(desktopPath, "My app.exe")); client.DownloadFile("My 000WebHost Link", (Path.Combine(desktopPath, "My app.exe"))); Process.Start(path); MessageBox.Show("Updated To The Newest Version.", "Updater", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information); this.Close(); }

catch { MessageBox.Show("There May Have Been An Error.", "Update Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error); Process.Start("My app.exe"); this.Close(); } i had to replay on my comment because youtube kept deleting the long one comment

because you put that code in initialization ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

nope but you can make so the actual app downloads the updater like other way around

@@gdgust2547 Ohh okay, ill figure it out

why not work for me ??

Hi! Checkout this method (using github and ClickOnce), which can do this for free: czcams.com/video/iMEGtrjMXPU/video.html

you should likely obfuscate the .bat file and then run it using system disgnostics

#region Private Properties private static string CurrentDirectory { get; } = Environment.CurrentDirectory; private static string ZipLocation { get; } = $"{CurrentDirectory}\\Venvep.zip"; private static string DirectoryLocaction { get; } = $"{CurrentDirectory}\\Venvep"; #endregion #region Private Helpers private static void DeleteDirectories(bool DeleteZip = true, bool DeleteDirectory = true) { if (DeleteZip && File.Exists(ZipLocation)) File.Delete(ZipLocation); if (DeleteDirectory && Directory.Exists(DirectoryLocaction)) Directory.Delete(DirectoryLocaction, true); } #endregion #region Events

its because u have to go to C:/Users/(your user)/source/repos/(your updater)/bin/debug and copy the exe to C:/Users/(your user)/source/repos/(your app)/bin/debug thats what i did and it worked

Can you tell me which file got corrupted?

@@basicprogramming6959 the demo.zip

@@basicprogramming6959 when ever I click yes yo update it deletes the demo.exe like it is suppose to but when it downloads the demo.zip it is corrupted I’m using GitHub

@@mr.snailman7326 Then you are doing something wrong with downloading it from GitHub, personally I haven't used GitHub for this so I'm afraid I can't help you

@@basicprogramming6959 I don’t seem to be doing anything wrong because everything else works perfectly it’s just the file when it downloads the zip

I'm actually from Belgium and I speak Dutch although German is an official language here in Belgium so I can understand and speak a little bit german. What I understand is that you download the same file that you had? Then the only explanation, if you did correctly what I did, is that you didn't update your new exe to webhost (or any host you are using) make sure that if you have a newer version of the application that you upload that to your host and delete the old one

I didn't try that but you can. Altough I believe it's not possible just try. Put your google drive link where the webhost link is

@@basicprogramming6959 okay thanks for information I am gonna try

@@BahtsizSSubay Does it work?

I'm afraid I can't help you in that. When I searched how to do this, my first idea was to change the files but it was impossible due to the name and overwriting.

@@basicprogramming6959 late reply but he could put the program in a directory, and then clear the directory from all the files and then install new files

Just have a code that makes them download into a zip or rar with said new files

What do you mean by not showing up? It's completely normal that when there is an update and you click to update it, that there will not be a visable form that pops up, it does all the coding in the background

@@basicprogramming6959 i found the issue thanks a lot, nice tutorial

@@polyviospatseadis9777 hey how did you solve it

@@toprakgureli7233 i put my files to public folder

I haven't had that message before but I can only suggest a few answers. Are you sure your content that you downloaded from the internet is a zip file? Are you sure you put the zip file in the same folder as all the other files? Make sure you use (name).zip as where to store it and not something like ./(name).zip. Make sure you watch the video again to make sure you haven't skipped a step or you mistyped something. The code is in the description if you want to copy it and modify to your needs

Thanks yes It’s a zip file I copied the code and I put it on the same host website you showed

@@ZenReal did it work?

@@basicprogramming6959 I decided to go with a different thing

Zack Ok Did you change the text in your pastebin? The code looks for the text in the pastebin. If the current file isn't the same version, it will ask for an update. So maybe you did not change the pastebin or you didn't change the text in your code itself what to look for.

@@basicprogramming6959 i had to go to properties of my projeect and change assembly u ddidnt mention that but its ok :D

Zack Ok Oeps, my bad if I missed something. I'm glad you found it

@@basicprogramming6959 How do you solve it? I have the same problem, i went to properties of my project, assembly and then what?

@@Surronix I'm sorry but I didn't encounter his problem, maybe you can tag Zack Ok

I'm currently somewhat busy, I looked some video's up on youtube and I think that might help you. If it doesn't I will try to make some free time and figure it out myself.

@@basicprogramming6959 i can't a easy tutorial for progressbar

@@jarno2427 set max value of progress bar to the amount of files to download and whenever a file is download step progress bar by 1

Awesome to hear, I usually don't make video's but I couldn't find a good file updater anywhere on the platform so I built mine from scratch. I'm glad you are also sharing your code to others!

I'm guessing that you forgot to add your updater to the .exe installer
