Adding SSUP to Your Setup Project

In order to add StupidSimpleUpdater to your application, you will need to ensure that it is properly configured in your setup project. How you do this will vary based on what toolset you are using to create your installers. Below is an example using a WiX 3 Setup project. If you have successfully added SSUP to a different setup system, please let me know by opening a new issue.

In general, you will need to include the output of the merge module and your SSUPConfig.xml file in the same directory as the executable who's File Version you want to check against.
