I ended up using the IPWorks! HTTP object before reading your reply. I am trying to use newObjects SFMain and SFStream utilities to write the data, but it isn't working right.
The HTTP control wants to give me data as a text string, but it needs to be a VT_ARRAY in order to use the WriteBin method from SFStream. I am using the SHA256 checksum to verify file integrity and it isn't matching the checksum generated at the server. As far as ShellExecute goes... The NSBasic app must be closed before running the installer, so how do I set something else to run when app closes? --- In [email protected], "George Henne" <g...@...> wrote: > > To my knowledge, no one has done this, but it could be useful. > > You would have to use NetStreams to check the version with a server > program.
