you will need a server or internet storage service for the direct link (zymic.com for example is a great site for that, but it doesnt allow .exe files)

you must use an integer for the version, eq. 1234, "version3" or "3" wont work

change https://dl.dropbox.c...960987/test.zip to https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102960987/

and test.zip to eq. 2222.zip (2222 is the version)
then set the version. ini to
[update]
version=2222
and upload version.ini and 2222.zip to a file host.

also version.ini and 2222.zip must be at same file share folder eq. https://dl.dropbox.c...987/version.ini and https://dl.dropbox.c...960987/2222.zip or it wont work.
