It comes pre-configured for 24U FileMaker Pro plug-ins, but it can be used for other 3rd party plug-ins as well.

"It [AutoInstaller] has been a tremendous help to me, and solved problems that I couldn't find answers to anywhere else. I had already read the FMP inc docs for auto-updating over & over, but it just wasn't working... I've also emailed another plug-in company that was unable to explain the auto-update procedure. I told them that 24U had a really great example of how auto-update ought to be explained and advised that they take a good look at it, or just link to it from their support section."
