Screenshot from the executable\n![Screenshot from the executable](https://github.com/SeppPenner/SoftwareUpdater/blob/master/Screenshot.png \"Screenshot from the executable\")\n\n## Basic usage\nThe PreferredLanguage property needs to be set to the language that is wanted.\nSee the languages subfolder in the execution location (to add new languages)\nand the language manager: https://github.com/SeppPenner/CSharpLanguageManager\n```xml\n\u003cPreferredLanguage\u003eDeutsch\u003c/PreferredLanguage\u003e\n```\n\nThe PathToLatestVersion property needs to be set to the path to where\nthe newest executable is located, e.g. a server share, etc.\n```xml\n\u003cPathToLatestVersion\u003eC:\\Users\\asdf\\Desktop\\Test\u003c/PathToLatestVersion\u003e\n```\n\nThe MainExecutable property needs to be set to the application's main\nexecutable. StartAgain means that after the update the executable is\nrestarted.\n```xml\n\u003cMainExecutable\u003e\n\t\u003cFileName\u003eMainExecutable.exe\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\u003cStartAgain\u003etrue\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\u003c/MainExecutable\u003e\n```\n\nThe files property contains all other files that should be updated and\nif they should be restarted after the update.\n```xml\n\u003cFiles\u003e\n\t\u003cFileModel\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eSecondExe.exe\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003efalse\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\u003c/FileModel\u003e\n\t\u003cFileModel\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eChangelog.txt\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003etrue\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\u003c/FileModel\u003e\n\u003c/Files\u003e\n```\n\n## How the full configuration needs to look like (Version 1.0.0.2)\nThe config file needs to be named \"UpdateConfig.xml\".\n```xml\n\u003c?xml version=\"1.0\"?\u003e\n\u003cConfig\u003e\n\t\u003cPreferredLanguage\u003eDeutsch\u003c/PreferredLanguage\u003e\n\t\u003cPathToLatestVersion\u003eC:\\Users\\asdf\\Desktop\\Test\u003c/PathToLatestVersion\u003e\n\t\u003cMainExecutable\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eMainExecutable.exe\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003etrue\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\u003c/MainExecutable\u003e\n\t\u003cFiles\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileModel\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eSecondExe.exe\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003efalse\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\t\u003c/FileModel\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileModel\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eChangelog.txt\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003etrue\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\t\u003c/FileModel\u003e\n\t\u003c/Files\u003e\n\u003c/Config\u003e\n```\n## How the full configuration needs to look like (Version 1.0.0.1 and prior)\nThe config file needs to be named \"UpdateConfig.xml\".\n```xml\n\u003c?xml version=\"1.0\"?\u003e\n\u003cConfig\u003e\n\t\u003cPathToLatestVersion\u003eC:\\Users\\asdf\\Desktop\\Test\u003c/PathToLatestVersion\u003e\n\t\u003cMainExecutable\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eMainExecutable.exe\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003etrue\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\u003c/MainExecutable\u003e\n\t\u003cFiles\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileModel\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eSecondExe.exe\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003efalse\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\t\u003c/FileModel\u003e\n\t\t\u003cFileModel\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cFileName\u003eChangelog.txt\u003c/FileName\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cStartAgain\u003etrue\u003c/StartAgain\u003e\n\t\t\u003c/FileModel\u003e\n\t\u003c/Files\u003e\n\u003c/Config\u003e\n```\n\nAn example project can be found [here](https://github.com/SeppPenner/SoftwareUpdater/tree/master/Sourcecode).\nA test setup can be found [here](https://github.com/SeppPenner/SoftwareUpdater/tree/master/Testsetup).\n\n## Special advice for version 1.0.0.0\nIf the executable is located under **C:\\Program Files** or **C:\\Program Files (x86)**, **ADMIN RIGHTS**\nwill be needed to use the updater properly. Otherwise it will not perform an update.\n\nChange history\n--------------\n\nSee the [Changelog](https://github.com/SeppPenner/SoftwareUpdater/blob/master/Changelog.md).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsepppenner%2Fsoftwareupdater","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsepppenner%2Fsoftwareupdater","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsepppenner%2Fsoftwareupdater/lists"}
