Windows Laptop Automatic Updater Development
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I'm seeking skillful software developers to design an automatic updater for proprietary software used by my clients in the field. Here's what the project will involve:
- The target devices are Windows-based laptops. Experience with Windows OS is therefore essential
- The software to be automatically updated is proprietary. A proven ability to effectively manage and update such software is necessary
- The updater should work effectively and consistently on field laptops, minimizing downtime and ensuring the software always stays current.
A vendor with previous experience in similar projects will be highly preferred. A clear understanding of software deployment and update strategies, as well as an understanding of Windows desktop environments, will be crucial to delivering a satisfactory result.
We envision something along the lines of a popup notification letting them know there is a new update available for download - once they click the notification - the updated files will be downloaded directly to their PC in the correct directories - overwriting the file automatically.
From my side (Admin) I can simply use an FTP program to upload the files that have been updated.
The system should check the server every 2 hours to see if there is anything new.
We will test your work exhaustively on numerous PCs before closing the job and deploying a live demo to the techs. Your script to check the server should be unobtrusive and small in size.
We are looking for a SIMPLE and quick solution.
