[QUOTE="mPod, post: 52046, member: 11199"] Chili is right, I think. An example: Package of Version 1 =============== fileA fileB fileC fileD Update package to Version 2 (only fileB has been changed) ==================== fileB Update package to Version 3 (only fileB & fileC have been changed) ==================== fileB fileC So at the end we have the following files on the server: Full Version 1 Full Version 2 Full Version 3 Update Version 1 -> 2 Update Version 2 -> 3 OR Full Version 1 Full Version 2 Full Version 3 Update Version 1 -> 2 Update Version 1 -> 3 (But I think that is not that good, cause what happens if user starts with Full Version 2? This would mean we would also have to offer a package for Update Version 2 -> 3, could be that it all gets a bit much - although with some client/server intelligence it's all doable.) I hope this makes sense, maybe you have some ideas to add here. But roughly that should be the idea. "Windows Update" is quite successful, so it can't harm to adopt some nice ideas from there (or other update systems). [/QUOTE]
