Some questions:

1.) Can i call the internet update from an app menuentry?
2.) Can i use the installer / uninstaller / internet update without any system
entries in the system registry or system ini files? Because i deliver one
software on an usb stick but this stick should be internet update ready too.
3.) Can i ask for the admin and register data for secwin while the installation prozess?

Yes. You can call the web update client from a menu entry, from a Shortcut,
start it manually from the Explorer, start it via a Scheduled Task, etc.

By default, it makes Registry entries. But you can use the "Store
Properties in INI File" option to store web update properties in an INI file
(located on the stick) instead of the Windows registry. The INI stores
connection information and the latest installed version number.

I don't know exactly what this means :-( Would you like to check if the
user has administrator rights or would you like to ask the user to enter
some admin data?

Hello Friedrich,

thanks for your reply. This all sound good :-)

FOr my third question: i use SecWin for registering and user management. It is
possible to have the same serialnumber for the installer and for secwin so the
user don´t have to enter two serial different serial numbers.

Thanks much Kai

If you know how to programmatically verify the SecWin serial number, then
the answer is yes.

For example, let the user enter the serial number in an installer dialog.
Then call into your own (SecWin) serial number verification DLL and check if
the serial number is valid. If this is the case, continue the installation
process. If the serial number was incorrect, ask to enter it again (or
abort the installation or whatever).

SetupBuilder 6.6 comes with a built-in serial number generation and
verification feature. But you can replace this with your own method. The
Examples Package on our web site provides a source code demo.

Does this help?
