Hello ChocolateUniverse,
Good to see someone making improvements to existing apps cooll; . I did originally have it coded into the main application like that but the problem was that I wanted to be able to download the update..replace the old version and then launch the new version automatically. The problem was that its not possible to delete/replace an exe if its already running so I created it seperately so that it can delete the main app and download the new version and then run it after its finished.
I should try update this tutorial aswell and go about it in a different way.

You just exit the app and in the Form Closing event you let it execute the self-extracting archive which can run the app after finishing(Yes you can run it silent
)
