Hi all. Hoping you can help me. We have some applications in Windows Mobile 5 will go through regular version updates dates on an ongoing basis. In order to update this OTA, we need to tell the user a new version is available and ask if they want to download a new one. This is all fine.

The issue is this:

We basically just want to open the device browser to the pre-entered download url and close our application simulaneously. Once the web page is open, they just follow onscreen instructions and as the device is closed, it can overwrite normally. Is this straightforward?

I am not technical but embedding a web link and close instruction behind the "Do you want to download a new one" seems a common action on programmes I have used.

Thanks


ps. anyone know if this can be done from within a Java programme or MIDP2....or recommend a forum where I can ask this?
