Re: Post install prequisites not being unstalled for Windows
Hi
Thanks for the reply. It seems to be that the "Run as administrator option" is needed which was not checked before for either the default .exe build or the .msi build. In our case the note about being needed since Windows Vista has not been the case as we've only had this issue now with Win8. By ...

Re: Updater automatic install not working
Hi
Using /sitentall improves it in that the initial do you want to update is gone but the normal install prompts are still shown. So the silent install works until it gets to the first user interaction prompt "The setup wizard will install ourappname on your computer. Click Next to continue ...
