How to distribute patches

[mozest]

Hi All,

I am looking for an installation, auto-update product for our games. Essentially, what I need is a small installer (Setup Factory seems to be a good choice) that will download additional game components and patches, once the the product is installed.

I have checked out Visual Patch, but I would like to have something that actually help to distribute the new components, patches.

So let's say if a player logs in to our game, the game checks for the integrity of the product, checks for updates and downloads and install them.

Can anybody suggest such a product ?

Thanks a lot.

You will be happy to know that we are within a few weeks of releasing a beta version of a new product called TrueUpdate! TrueUpdate allows you to integrate an update and patching solution into your software exactly like you want. Keep an eye on our Web site and the forums in the next week or two for more details.

Thanks for the info.
So when do you think you will have that product fully ready?
Also, can I please get notified when the beta is available? Is there any documents that I could read in advance about this product?

Thanks a lot.

The public beta period will be announced on all of our newsgroups. As far as documentation we do not have anything at the moment but I can answer any specific questions that you may have.
