Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Language Specific, C++ / C, C# Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Sep 1, 2003 8:52:31 AM EDT) Description: I need a program for a mod that I am creating. The program must be able to do 5 main things: - check for update, if so, Download the latest update - when finished, rename a few folders/files to something else based in a dir provided in the registry. - start the game, leaving the program still running - when the user comes out of the game, it renames the folders/files back and exits it self. - The clinet must contain a small web browser window so the person can see whats new in the patch while the download of the patch is in progress.... see the image provided. Must be coded in C++ or C# The URL that the window points to, the key in the registry the program looks at (they key with the information on where the folder is with all the files to be renamed),a list of files to be renamed will be provided, a dir on the internet where the all the latest files to be downloaded are, and another file on the internet that has the latest version number so the program can check it self with that to see if they match (if they match it dont download anything, If it does not match it downloads the latest files). The sample provided is low quality... ON a side note: it would be a plus for me to be able to change the files (or add) that get renamed with ease... Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
