Dispatcher

Dispatcher is a fantastic software that enables the creation of a fully functional Updater executable for your software. It is effortless to set up and requires only a website (HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP) to keep your users updated on new releases. This means that your users will never have to worry about manually downloading and installing upgrades.

One of the primary advantages of Dispatcher is that it automatically generates binary patch data and uploads it to your website(s) every time you release a new version of your software. Consequently, When the Updater runs on a user's PC, the software is automatically patched to its latest version!

Additionally, you can configure the Updater to run in several ways, including automatically popping up when an update is available. Dispatcher also offers other fantastic features, including the ability to choose Patch Mode or Sync Mode. This means you can transfer only the binary difference between files or transfer compressed individual changed files when releasing updates.

Another excellent feature of Dispatcher is that it supports downloading updates from multiple mirror websites, if desired. It also works flawlessly with free webhosts, thanks to File Extension Masking. Additionally, Dispatcher generates all the data needed for the Updater to update your software and uploads it to your website for you.

The Updater can be configured to only pop up when an update is available, to be run before your software, or to be manually run through your software. It also saves bandwidth by downloading only 2 bytes to check for updates, and patches can be as small as 200 bytes. The Updater file size is small, at about 100kb.

You can change between using binary patches or downloading compressed individual files at any time. Dispatcher also offers File Recovery, allowing updating of files that were deleted/altered by the user, which would otherwise be unpatchable. The Automatic Rollback feature ensures that your software is never left in an unusable state due to interrupted updates.

Dispatcher is easy to set up and maintain using its fantastic GUI. Additionally, it offers optional command-line parameters that allow scripting of software distribution. It is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Wine(Linux) and works fully without relying on Puchisoft servers. In summary, Dispatcher is a fantastic software solution for anyone looking to make software deployment and updates hassle-free.
