Seven Update Beta 2 Released!
Seven Update Beta 2 and the SDK has been released to the public. Download Here
Beta brings numerous enhancements to features and performance. Seven Update is now Vista UAC compliant and provides better code security. Beta 2 brings a new SUI format that is not only faster to read and write, but allows upgrade maintanability between older versions. It also introduces the SUA format, which allows software publishers to add their application to Seven Update with ease, either automated or by the user. SUA contains specific details needed to allow SU to update an application.
Applications that can be updated with Seven Update are virtually unlimited. Publishers, download the SDK and add support for your application, no code changes needed!
Anti-Corruption feature, SU verifies files by their SHA1 hash, so users will always have a valid file, if the file is corrupted or modified, SU will detect it and can update the file.
Beta 2 removes the ability to install applications, this was done as a security measure, but for standards as well. We think Windows Installer does a great job already.
So whats next? We have some great features planned including:
- SUI validator for the SDK, detects any problems and presents solutions.
- List Sorting
- Prompt to close files in use that need updating, this will prevent needing a reboot in these circumstances
- Seven Update updates won’t require a reboot.
- Code Cleanup
- Help documentation

I’ve tried it but I couldn’t make it download the file. Help file also required. Interesting project, and I’ve followed it for a few weeks. Keep it up!!

I been working on some other software projects lately. I don’t think there are any bugs. But i do plan on adding a few small features and optimizing memory. Main part of the hurdle is over. I am just lazy as to create some help files, or documentation for developers. I also need to get the word out and offer help and support for open source projects that needs updaters.
