Diggsey,
i have tried to add the auto extracter. but i am not sure how it works. i write this:
original$ = DefaultDirectory+"Downloads"+GamesFilePath$( _install )
extractTo$ = DefaultDirectory+"Downloads"+Game(id).Name
execute file "F:ProgramfilerWinZipWINZIP32.EXE", "-e "+original$, "", 1
` "original$" = "G:ProjectsDBPROgame managerdownloadstrashers.zip" at the moment.
it tells me there is no zip file. :/
[edit]
nevermind. i figured it out
Quote: " The command format is:
winzip32 -e [options] filename[.zip] folder
where -e is required.
options
-o and -j stand for "Overwrite existing files without prompting" and "Junk pathnames", respectively. Unless -j is specified, folder information is used. Use -sPassword to specify a case-sensitive password. The password can be enclosed in quotes, for example, -s"Secret Password".
filename.zip
Specifies the name of the Zip file involved. Be sure to specify the full filename (including the folder).
folder
Is the name of the folder to which the files are extracted. If the folder does not exist it is created."
oh, and it cannot be spaces in the folders.
this means that you MUST place the application in a path without spaces!

Bizar,
no, the only thing i can update for everybody to see is the game list.
for bug fixes and stuff, you would have to download a new version of the .exe.
however now that we are on the topic of updating. i think i will add automatic updating. where you press a button, and it checks to see if it is the latest version or not.
i think that i will implement a Settings button. in the setting you would then be able to:
* check for program updates
* register/login (free)
* add games you have created to the game list
* set path for winzip/winrar (because i am using a norwegian OS and my windows installation is on my F: drive. so that would confuse the program when sombody is using an english version of windows, and probably windows installed on C
