Desktop Auto Update?

Web is easy, it just reloads the new version.

Apps are easy - push an update to the app store.

But what about Windows / Mac / Linux installs? How do I get those to update some how? Will I need to build some sort of external launcher?

Traditional desktop apps (i.e. not distributed via a store) generally all invent their own auto-update mechanism. So you have to come up with something yourself. One of the nice things about stores or web publishing is they solve this for you.

Thanks Ashley, I figured as much. Does Scirra have any sort of "Launcher" to assist with this?

In a perfect world yes. A lot of the time does not work at all.

I guess this depends on browsers and whether you add some code manually to your index.page, but a lot of the time it goes like this:

Upload a new version of construct 2 html5 export to your site and keep hitting refresh until your hand falls off, you will still see only the cached version until you delete your browser cache.
