Windows application updater library, similar to Sparkle and WinSparke. The library checks for updates from a remote server or file-system, which inturn notifies the user of your apps' update and prompts an optional installation. This process can be executed periodically within your application with limited user interaction.
It is a win32 native stand-alone library without any non-system external dependencies, permitting both GUI and console interaction.
Due to minimal external dependencies supports MSVC 2008+ and OpenWatcom and run on Windows XP or greater. Other toolchains should be possible with minimal effort.
