Velopack — installer & auto-update framework
Velopack adds installers and auto-updates to cross-platform desktop apps with near-zero
config. It owns the whole distribution pipeline: you give it your compiled app folder, it
produces an installer + update packages, and a small SDK in your app checks a feed and
applies updates. It is not a library you bolt onto an existing installer (Inno Setup,
WiX, electron-builder) — vpk replaces that step.
SDKs: C#/.NET, C/C++ (a precompiled velopack_libc with a C and C++ API, also callable
from any language with C FFI), Rust, JavaScript/Electron, Python.
Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux.
