Updater by CatenaLogic

Add update functionality to your applications. Updater is an advanced, fully customizable update solution which can fullfill your needs for an integrated update solution for your software. Updater is an auto update module which enables your clients to check to see if there is a new version of your application. Developers can easily integrate Updater into their software installation with the help of a user guide and lots of examples; in fact you should be able to get Updater up and running within 10 minutes. Keep your end users up to date with the latest patch release or new version. Updater makes it easy to update your software on any number of client machines and has even been used as an install and deployment solution.

Updater is a software component that developers can include in their setup package. Updater serves as a deployment tool that takes away the difficult steps to deploy a new version of software that is already installed on several (unlimited) clients. It is an advanced auto update module which enables your clients to check to see if there is a new version of your application. It is easy to integrate Updater into your software with the help of a user guide and lots of examples.

Nowadays, applications can be shipped with an auto-update feature to keep all users updated with the newest release. Of course you can implement such a solution yourself, but there are a number of things to consider such as proxy support, security, license checking, rolling back when an updates fails, restoring older version etc. This could take a lot of time and effort to implement all these features.

With Updater Studio, it's very easy to create and manage all the updates. Updater Studio is an All-In-One tool to use for Updater. It allows you to create settings files, automatically generate update files and upload these files automatically to the server.

Updater Studio uses wizards to guide you through the complete process of generating update files. Simply enter all server and product information once and press the build-button. Then you can sit back and relax and see how Updater Studio generates all the update files and uploads the files directly to your server.

The purpose of this tool is to create and manage updates as easily and fast as possible, without having to do everything yourself. These are the steps required to generate update files:

Create a new product solution

Add current releases of the product to the solution

Click the build button and wait while Updater Studio builds the update files and uploads them automatically to the server

View the result by testing your updates

Updater Features:

Updater supports the basics of an update solution, like:

All recent Windows versions are supported (Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista)

Full proxy support

All well-known communication protocols are supported (HTTP(S)/FTP/Network/Local)

User Interface in a wizard-form so your users will have the best user experience

Multilingual and automatic language selection

Updater is able to update itself

Updater supports lots of customizable actions which an average installer or update solution also supports, like:

Download

Copy

Delete

Unzip

Register files (ocx/dll)

And more...

Updater also supports events making it possible to perform even more actions than the ones mentioned above, before and after every step during the update process.

Updater Advanced Features:

The above are common update solution features but Updater adds more advanced features to the auto update offering like:

Rollback & restore

It is important for your clients to be able to keep working with your product(s). Whenever an update fails, did not apply correctly or simply doesn't fit the requirements or needs of the customer, Updater is able to restore all previous versions of the product.

If an update fails, Updater will immediately roll back all actions performed by Updater for that specific update so the update won't be partly applied, but only entirely or not at all. This doesn't just mean that some files are copied back to their original location; all registry & ini settings, files and directories will be restored to make sure that the user won't have any trouble using your product(s).

When a user finds that some of the features of an update don't suit him after working with an updated product for some days, he will be able to fully restore the application to the previous version. Updater allows the user to restore old versions of software weeks after the update was applied.

Security & protection

Updater makes it possible to protect your software using built-in software protection. Check file hashes or even use your custom protection code to check if a user is using an illegal version of your software.

The update files are never stored on the client PC. However, if a user manages to retrieve the information in an update file, it's possible to prevent the user from viewing/editing the update file by encrypting the update files.

User Data Collection

Updater enables you to collect anonymous user data. This information enables you to get detailed statistics about the whereabouts of your users, which is very useful for marketing purposes. Updater also provides you with information about the time at which most users perform their updates (useful for an estimation of server loads) and the version of your application your users are using.

Fully customizable

Updater is fully configurable and customizable. You can apply your company logo, custom text and even the icon can be customized so your users won't even notice that you are using a third party update solution.

Updater is able to switch between User Interface types at run-time. This means it is possible to check for a new version in hidden (invisible) mode. When an update is available, Updater can switch (run-time) to full mode so the user will see the wizard which will guide the user through the update process.

Updater also allows you to create custom notifications for silent mode by simply creating the notifications with skinning, custom text and colors.
