Re: Updater.exe keeps running in case of error

I have found out the root cause - I was missing the "-nogui" switch.

So I think this page should be adjusted as well :-)

Re: Updater | Command Line | Multiple commands

No, I asked where is the configuration of updater in terms of logging stored.

E.g. I call "updater.exe /set loglevel Debug" and it is required to call once so it has to store the configuration somewhere. Where is it?

Re: Updater | Command Line | Multiple commands

Thanks, though I have seen this information in the article :-)

But my question is still valid - since logging is enough to change once, where is the configuration stored?

Re: Updater.exe keeps running in case of error

I have tried but Windows does not seem to care, the process keeps hanging. It is clearly a poor design of error handling within Updater app. I have found out that it manifests a faulty behavior when updates file contains invalid url of the installer to be downloaded. When can I expect it to be fixed...

Re: Updater | Command Line | Multiple commands

Only one command line with "/" is accepted at a time. This is really weird behavior when we need to call the updater couple times instead of once. It is also not obvious why some portion of switches start with slash character and some with dash. Btw based on this behavior, it seems that U...

Re: Updater.exe log/debug file

Hi, I am facing similar issue and provided advice is not enough. I have had an issue in my update file but since I run my updater silently, I was not able to find any log and suggested solution applies on a specific update. But since updater is having issues even finding an installer, we do need som...

Re: Updater frequency check

I have to admit that it is still mysterious to me what "frequency check" technically means. Can somebody please explain? Documentation is not very clear to me as well. I mean - when I launch the Updater app I expect it to check for updates, nothing more, nothing less. Why to bother with so...

Re: Updater works but with Error: Update installation failed at the end

I am having the same issue. Have checked "Update Installed Detection" tab couple times and still do not see the reason for having "Update installation failed". I also enabled extra logging in "Update Installer" tab by setting command line to /L*V "C:\temp\updates.t...

Re: What is Install Support Service?

I might have followup question - when is the service actually run? I have done couple of tests and the service did not start and is set to Manual. Thank you.
