Automatic update system

134 100+
Hello,

I am trying to write a pretty big program. But is here someone who can tell me how to make a system that automatically checks if there is a newer version of the program and which can automatically download and install it?

Thanks in advance

Something along this way

You have stored the current version
Check there is a live connection - no, die quietly
Check an XML file stored on the site against the version of your code. Is the XML version newer - no, die quietly
Recommend a download - don't just do it (bad idea in case you break something)
