Bug Description
I think a new option should be added to the "New updates are available" dialog so instead of the "Visit Download page?" question there should be three buttons: "Install update", "Visit homepage", "Close" (or "Cancel"). The new "Install update" could download the installer of the latest version (url defined in version.xml), close the application then launch the installer.
I think this is not a hard-to-do feature, and would ease the client upgrade process for the users.

To post a comment you must log in.
Can you recommend any easy way of checking the integrity of the downloaded executable? Because it must be done if you don't want to create a potential security risk by executing a downloaded binary... (I think this is the main reason why isn't this function in DC++)
Afak some other DC clients have this function, maybe a check wouldn't hurt about what they did (or did not) do to avoid security issues.
