How the new automated updater works

Posted on 03:39 by Unknown
The new automated updater is an independent EXE with independent resources. Once run, it does this simple task:

  • Download appropriate update for version X
  • Shut down Process Lasso
  • Replace necessary files
  • Restart Process Lasso
It may not work for everyone, but will for many. It will do all the above without user intervention, if they've selected to that.

This will be available in an upcoming beta soon. You WILL be able to try it out on the next beta upgrade because I'll provide a direct link to this new updater.

What's even better is that we are making this thing look cool with a few graphics and dancing unicorns ;). Ok, ok, no dancing unicorns, but I thought it was a good idea.
