auto-update

Anytime I publish a new version of my app in the Market, if the user had enabled the "auto update" option, the app will be updated automatically. The app contains a service that runs constantly. But when the automatic update happens, the old running app is killed, but the new one is not started. Since the update happens mostly transparently to the user, it makes sense that the app's service should be started again automatically after the update so that there is almost no interruption of the service. It's a bit difficult to test this with a real update from the market, so I'm using the

We are developing a Windows based application in C#. I want to provide auto updates for the software. In fact, once the user run the program it should be able to notify the user that it is going to get the latest version from the server. We have created our setup by using Visual Studio setup creator.

If there is any update we can update an entry in the user's database. My question now is, where should I store the latest

I am currently building an application and want to have an installer and automatic silent updates for it. Dropbox, Spotify and Chrome all are amazing at updating without anyone noticing. So I took a look at the Dropbox Roaming Folder in AppData and found a file named DropboxUpdateHelper.exe with an NSIS Icon.

To provide application updates in Windows, we can simply download the installer and run it. Applications are installed in %PROGRAMFILES% and shortcuts are placed in various places. Keys and values are added to the registry to provide an entry in the system's Programs list. To provide application updates in Linux, we can use the system's package manager. How do you provide application updates in Mac OS X? I think in general you simply drag .app bundles to /Applications? Does the system provide any sort of registry other than "look in /Applications folder"? Should the general flow of updating

I have recently been setting up SVN in Eclipse using the Subversive plugin (I am still a bit lost, but that's another issue). I have been using this guide ( http://soledadpenades.com/2008/12/10/add-svn-support-to-your-eclipse-installation/ ) and finally got it working! The only problem now is, I can't seem to find the Package Explorer, which is the only explorer I could ever seem to get working how I wanted it to (grouping projects into working sets). Normally, you get it from going to Window → Show View → Other , and then select it from the list. The only thing is, it's not IN the list of

Can anybody give me a direction, I want to know how to do auto updating pages like facebook have for new status updates, new likes etc. Ie., if you have a status open in a window and a user click "like", the +1 like automatically appears. Thanks in advance. These are done using a PUSH model (subscribe / publish). The client side first subscribes by issuing an AJAX request. This AJAX request stays alive indefinitely. When the server receives a new like / comment, it publishes this update to the client side thereby ending the AJAX request. The client receives this update and isntantly issues
