C++ - Auto-updater

[Twist177]

I was wondering how to make an auto-updater using C++. I would like my updater to check for updates in multiple C++ programs. Also, I would like for this auto-updater to be able to work from another computer. I was just wondering where to begin, what skills in C++ are needed, and, obviously, is it possible. Thanks in advance.

What kind of updates? Have you considered make?

I think he means that his program can automatically update itself. There are many ways to accomplish this, but you first have to have a clear application architecture before we can offer specific help.

Allow me to clarify. I would like to have a program. You run it. It checks for updates on multiple, other games. If updates are availible, it downloads them. As for what kinds of updates? Say you go to another computer. I want to be able to update my older games on another computer. I'm not very good at explaining things... If you're still confused, say something.

You would probably want to use a library.

The portable, robust, non-viral libcurl would be a good choice.
