John,

Your reasoning is not that bad BUT consider this (at least my case) :
the help file has to be updated each time ?
all the image file have to be updated each time ?
all setting files have to be updated each time ?

I use a full installer and the updater (of DMC for example) has all dll's of
r3dParties plus the exe and the help file
I add one or two setting files and that's it

The file difference in size depends on what is not sent (in my case) 25Mb to
17 Mb

Whatever you do the updater will grow as when SV comes out with a newer
version required recompile then you will have (and will I) to send in an
update all clarion dll's also .....

BUT an updater is smarter then an installer etc .... so I simply stick with
it

Edvard says a better way is to do a full install : yes easier for the dev
...... he does not have to check his files and test his updaters etc ....
BUT why did Friedrich write all the updater for then ? <VBG>

I'll let you go more in tech details FL ...
