Hi again,

this time I am completly lost. I would like my application to check the MD5 Sum of an executable after it was downloaded and compare it with the checksum of the server. Generally I would like to know wheter this is possible within revolution with or without an external and how to archive that.

Cheers!

Dear MasterchiefJB,

If your executable isn't too big, you can use the md5digest function without any special tricks.

Best,

Mark

Or you could call openssl md5 [filename] using shell which should be avail. by default on Mac OS X and Linux.

PS: OpenSSL (Win32)
