Hi there, I often make cool little bits and pieces to put in people's games and/or programs. If anybody is interested, I can send you a library and header for my Internet Update feature - checks for a new version, downloads if you want it to, and runs an update program!

Anybody?

You want code? You got code!
To use it though, you'd need to change the directories. As i've just pasted this, I havent edited it - so it's got "voyce" all over it.
Just ignore it, its just from my voice recognition program.
Oh yeah, and make sure there's a variable hMainInstance that contains the hInstance passed to WinMain!.
It uses MFC classes, however I use it on my win32 progs too.
