The following instructions use UpdateShield
Integrator (the shell protection method) to interface the application with the
Updater. The necessary settings are described below. However, you may change
the options as you want.
Besides the shell protection method, you may also use the provided UpdateCheck API (including the UpdateCheck
Class Library and the UpdateCheck .NET Component) to
interface your application with the Updater. In this case, please see the
provided code examples (in the \Examples folder) for more information.
1. Run UpdateShield
Integrator. The wizard dialog box appears.
2. In the Specify Protected
Program dialog, specify your program file name in the Original
field. In the Target field, specify a different name for the protected
program file that will be created.
3. In the Set Identification
dialog, assign a Program ID in the Program ID field.
4. In the Set Options
