I do this by parsing the text in the download page. I look for a version marker and compare it to the running version.
As for the program running issue, I avoid this by using a launcher. The download simply puts files in the Setup folder. On the next launch, files are updated from Setup.

I check using a text file for a newer version and download it to a directory in the data directory. Problem is getting it to the main program as its alreaqy running. I did try a loaded program which works fine if you are using it from scratch but to use it with a running program caused problems because the original program seems to be still in memory and causes a cant delete file error. Maybe a delphi starter prog is an answer.

Either one just to say "Yes there is an update" or one which also downloads and installs the update. Thanks Chris. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
