Interview Question in Visual Studio 2008


 

Interview Question :: How to write an auto updater for my C++ programs

I have written a few basic programs in C++ and I would like to make them auto update over the internet or over my intranet (I have a website and an intranet).

I can upload files to my intranet and website fine but the problem is, I do not know how to write the code for an auto updater. Could someone please explain to me how to write an auto updater or provide a link to a website which explains how to make one. Any source code you could provide would be very useful. It can be in any language as long as it works with my C++ programs!

I am only just starting so please keep it simple! Thanks in advance.

Richard

P.S. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition.
