Title: Updating a program
Post by: MrTAToad on 2010-Mar-07
As you may know, I've got a routine that downloads and, depending on platform over-writes an older version of a program.

I'm wondering whether to replace the thing with a routine that ends the program and loads the appropriate web page.  Now, do people prefer being taken to the appropriate place whereby they have to download the program themselves, or is an automatic download & update preferred ?

Give users the choice.

Personally, I'd rather update when I choose, rather than the program doing it automatically.

I'll just provide a link to the programs web page and let the user choose what to do...  Does make thinks so much simpler :)
