How to handle Exe updates (which have new controls)

Hi there, I am writing an application that uses a TsiLangRT component on each form, but with all sharing the same .sil file. We want to allow users to edit their own .sil files. I am wondering how most people handle updating a customer to a new exe which will have new corresponding .sil entries. If I do nothing to handle this, the new .exe would require a new .sil which would wipe any custom translating they may have done... I am thinking since a .sil file is just a .ini file I can write an update app that writes new entries to the .sil file. But maybe there's another way, as I'm sure this has come up before. Thanks,

Steve Anderson

You can just deliver SIL Editor to your users and there is ability to merge and import languages and SIL files.
