Introduction
------------
InstantUpdate is a utility to help you make sure that your users
are always using the newest version of your software. With InstantUpdate
your users can check for new updates of your software over the Internet
anytime, anywhere. Think of the technical support incidents that could be
eliminated if your users always used the latest releases of your software.
No more emails or phone calls from users asking if you have released a
fix or new version. This is also a great way to promote new upgrades and
products.
Operational Overview
--------------------
To use InstantUpdate you start with the InstantUpdate Wizard which asks
you a few questions and then generates a configuration file. You then
distribute the configuration file along with the InstantUpdate runtime
engine with your software. The only other thing that you need to do is
to upload the update information page that is generated by the Wizard to
your Web site. Whenever your users want to check for a new update they
just connect to the Internet (through their dial-up or proxy connection)
and run InstantUpdate.
