1.3 Distributing

After packaging MyApp for distribution, the various files in the Releases directory are used to distribute MyApp to users.

  • Setup Application - the Setup.exe application is provided to new users to install the current version of MyApp (see 1.4 Installing).
  • Update Files - the RELEASES file, along with versioned full and delta packages, are used by the update process (see 1.4 Updating).

Local File Distribution

For simplicity, this Getting Started guide uses a local file system location for updates. The location is defined in the update location provided to the UpdateManager (see code in 1.1.2 Basic Updating).

This generally is not practical for updates, unless all your users have access to similar network path where the files could be easily placed.

Additional Distribution Options

Section 2.3 More Distributing will go over using alternate sources to serve your application packages, including the following:

  • Microsoft IIS
  • GitHub
  • Amazon S3
