Additional Update Configuration command line option

Wed Feb 01, 2017 12:49 am

I recently setup the auto updater and i have to say it's very slick and easy to setup. In integrating the updates into my build scripts there is just one additional option that I can't seem to set from the command line. That is setting the "Update Replaces" for a new update added on the command line.
Passing in a list of updates to be replaced doesn't seem practical but all that is really needed for normal updates is a way to indicate it replaces all previous updates.

It would be great if you could add -replaces_all as an optional argument to /NewUpdate or /SetInstallerProperties.

My other thought was that the dependencies could be specified by a version range instead of update name. In the same way the current Update Targets are handled.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

Indeed, we don't have a command line switch for this option. I've added your improvement request on our todo list and we will try to add this improvement in a future version of our application. Thank you for your feedback.

We will update this thread as soon as the improvement will be out.

All the best,
Daniel
