Hello all.
I am a current user of 4 getting ready to update to 5 and just looking at the advantages of developer over pro in regards to web based install and update packages.
Currently I have made stand alone exe's and allowed clients to a download them from a URL and run as needed. Works okay but scores really low on the slickness scale :( and does not allow for the evaluation of what they have to start with. What I'm trying to understand and didn't fully appreciate from the web site descriptions was how much more effective would I find using the web update features of Dev. Just looking to clean up how I present the advantages of revamping our product installs and updates when I try and justify the cost and more importantly the time I need to put into it.
I apologize for the vagueness of the request and appreciate any feedback offered. Thanks.
