I've nearly finished my personal auto updater and the only thing left to
implement is a hash check against the downloaded file to make sure it's
good before extracting it. Right now I havn't released it so I've
tested that the selected update components download correctly and
extract and that the program starts back up as the new version...
I've googled for about a half hour and couldn't figure out how to
generate an MD5 hash for both storing in my website's database and for
generating on the downloaded file to compare against the xml file I
download in the first place in order to download the updates.
So, does anyone have a quick tutorial on how to generate an MD5 hash on
a file?
Thanks in advance,
Benny
