UpdateInstaller

The UpdateInstaller is a utility downloaded by the server front-ends when they get out of date, update checks are preformed only when the server starts. Depending on your configuration, it can be automatically launched to always stay up-to-date. The UpdateInstaller has the latest fCraft build embedded and extracts it to replace the current fCraft binaries.

UpdateInstaller doesn't normally change the config.xml or PlayerDB.txt, so all configuration and player info is preserved. config.xml updating is done only by the ConfigGUI, while the PlayerDB is converted to a possible new version by the server itself.

UpdateInstaller is normally started by the server front-end, which will exit itself to allow for a clean update.
