application like windows update

How to create application whitch acts like the one on the windows update
page.

I created windows forms control whitch uses ActiveX object. I want to host
that control on the web page.
Every time the client opens the page the ie downloads boath my control and
the additional ActiveX dll.
How to make installer like on the windows update page to ask for permission
and to install the control on the clients computer. And stop all future
downloads.

Thank you.

Aurimas,

Why not just create an MSI package and distribute that over the web?
You will pretty much get the same experience. Windows Update is a pretty
massive application, and trying to replicate it will not do you much good.

Rather, I would look into what is coming out with .NET 2.0, ClickOnce.
It will provide a better installation experience for .NET applications
distributed over the web.

But can anyone explain to me why I need to call DoEvents when I am using a COM component that calls back to into the ..Net application? - If I don't call DoEvents after receiving a callback then sometimes no more messages are pumped, it appears that the message...

I am looking for an application that will wrap my .Net application (and any needed .Net parts) into a single exe. I know of Thinstall ($4,000 for application and per copy fees for your exes) and of Xenocode (~$1,500 plus ~ $12 per copy of your exe). But, I'd like something that is actually affordable for a hobbyist programmer. This capability (Thinstall's being able to wrap a .Net app and ship it as a single exe) would be a FANTASTIC...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
