Certificate while using -startminimized option

Wed Nov 03, 2021 8:34 pm

Hi,

We are currently working on a package setup that has a scheduled task in which we call the "updater.exe" application to check if there is a new version available on the server. We store the updater's txt configuration file along with the MSI package on a secured server with an SSL connection.

If we put the parameter "/checknow -startminimized" to the command line's arguments, we get the error message displayed in the attached image.

If we remove the "-startminimized" option from the command line and only keep the "/checknow" parameter, the update process correctly starts, as if we double click directly on the "updater.exe" file.

Is there any more settings required for this to work ?

If you need anything to help you diagnose the issue, do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

Hi Sebastien and welcome to our forums,

I investigated it and tried to reproduce the behavior, but I was not able to replicate it.

On my machine the updater is working as expected with the -startminimized argument. I use Dropbox for the files which has an HTTPS connection.

Can you please try to manually launch the updater.exe with the -startminimized argument and tell me if it works?

Otherwise, in order for us to further investigate this issue, can you please send us the following resources:

1. the new .AIP (project file)
2. the old .AIP (project file)
3. the Updates Configuration Project
4. a download link for the v1 (old) setup package
by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com?

Best regards,
Liviu
