Software Updater

[NoRulez]

Hey @all,

I'm working on a software updater. The download and so on works fine. My Problem is to install the downloaded application from within the current/old application.
As system i use mac, linux and windows but the higher priority is on windows.

Can anybody give me a hint on how to do so?

Thanks in advance

Run your installer.exe using QProcess.

The problem is that i can't replace the executeable and the dll's.

This is bit tricky, you have to use

QProcess::startDetached();

QProcess::startDetached();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Call this function and immediately quits from your main process. Then the installer should take care of replacing the executable and dlls.
