Updater \silent parameter with -nofreqcheck

[Peter.lennarz]

Hi,

is it possible to run the updater with the \silent parameter and make it check for updates every time (same behaviour as \silentall with -nofreqcheck but without the automatic installation of the updates)?

We run the updater every time our application starts and we need to inform the users about a new update as soon as it becomes available (no 1 day waiting period since the last check took place).

Thank you,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately this is not supported for the "/silent" parameter. However, you can obtain the same behavior by using this:

Code: Select all

/checknow -minuseractions

Hi!

We would need the same functionality in a way that the updater would return result code based on if there are updates or not. The /checknow -minuseraction starts to update with dialog; we need simply status so that we can exit our application cycle and launch the blocking updater + application restarter.

And yes, instant, no 1-2 day delay.

Which way can we achieve this?

Hi,

Currently this is not supported by the Updater. However, I added this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi!

Thank you Cosmin. Can you confirm if this feature made it to the 7.2 version; I didn't find any mention in the command line options on the helps, so suspecting it might have not made it that fast.

Has this been implemented as of the 7.3.1 release? We're interested in doing the same thing.

Hi,

This feature was not included in Advanced Installer 7.3.1, but it will be present in the 7.4 version which should be released in the near future.
