AutoUpdater

Mike:

In trying to use the later version of AutoUpdater dated 2012 0207 but it is locked so I can’t make any changes. I have made some changes on an earlier version that isn’t locked but it’s very old. Is there an unlocked version available?

I’m looking for a replacement that will keep users updated without their intervention. Is anyone working on an update for the AutoUpdater or is there a better way?
