LabVIEW Applications Updates

[beto25j]

Hello everyone

I am working on an LabVIEW application that runs over more than 20 PC, I would like to know how could I code a "service" or background applications that each PC detects an update and install new versions if the user want it?, just like a regular windows application

And how could I send those updates?

I am using LabVIEW 2016

Thanks

There are a few commercial toolkits that can do that (there is BLT and I think there is also something from wirebirdlabs, but I cannot find the link at the moment)

Of course you can roll your own. Just have a simple public web server running a web service that returns the newest version, have you application check it when it is started, and have the application download and install the newest version. Have a look at some of the ideas in this old thread.

If it's in one company you can make it even simpler, have a launcher that checks a network location, and if the .exe is newer, download it before starting.
