130 views

When you as a developer , how you give a update for user. How is it working inside. The software is online and it’s not fully uninstalled and installed again.
But how?

How do they update certain parts of a program without just clean it up from HDD.

I don’t have any idea!

A software is (often) made of many files. An update typically changes some, but not all of those files. You download the changes, override the files, delete anything unneeded and add things that are newly needed. That leaves most of the program untouched – if you’re changing 2 image files, there’s no reason to move any of the audio files, for example.
