Makes building and uploading updates easy, reliable and fast UpdateBuilder is a timesaving tool to make building updates for the TWebUpdate component easier. UpdateBuilder can generate the correct .INF file that contains the specification of what parts of the application need to be downloaded and how. It will also compress files if specified or build complete CAB files that contain the updated application. On top of that, it can automatically upload the update to the server.
