Thanks for the suggestions. GetGnuWin32 is ok for what it is meant to (though I myself use another tool I posted to the list once).
It is however not for my personal use I ask and I can not assume that all the users know (or want to know) very much about the update tool. It must be easy to use, inform users about update etc. I do not believe GetGnuWin32 can fit that description, or? McCullough, Ryan wrote: > What is wrong with Mathias Michaelis' tool GetGnuWin32?
