Hey guys, I made this because i think it would be easier for people to make nicer looking programs in vb2010\. Also i like how vb2010 doesn't lag when i go to edit the form size xP. Basically when you open it you want to go into the code and replace everyinstance of jaspermods.com/gameupdate, with your game update path.

This is meant to be very basic, so it should be very easy editing for your needs!

The version.txt, is used to compare the version of your exe, which can be changed in the publishing menu. If the versions are the same, it will display an "up to date" message.

You will need the following files in your game update path, they are attached.

Version1.zip HAS TO BE A ZIP FILE! Replace Version1.zip with whatever you want as the update.

Link.txt has the link to the Update, which browses with a hidden webbrowser.

You Can Download The Source [    HERE   ](http://www.filedropper.com/autoupdaterbygianni)

I Hope you guys can use this to fit your needs! And i wouldn't mind to see some edited versions of this floating around ;)!

What are you talking about? VB6 has access to the exact same stuff as VB.NET. If you want an XP style theme then you can just ship a manifest.

Turn off desktop composition on VB6\. Done.

You've got a completely unrelated program made in a completely unrelated language which requires users to install an entire language framework just to download new versions of your game.

This is useless.

If you would like to help me do this with Dev Express, in VB6 then my opinion would totally change…

I never said i was helping, i said it was an attempt. At least i tried to do something instead of all those other people lurking, and leeching off everybody else in the community.
