disable install of updater with a setup parameter

[PROMAN_Software]

hi
we are using the updater in our project so that we can distribute the updates.
but some clients, which are using an automated distribution, would like to disable the updater, since the distribute the software centrally.
is there a way to disable the updater with e.g. a setup parameter?
thank you for any advice

Hello and welcome to our forums,

It is not quite clear for me what you want to achieve here.

Do you want to disable the installation of the "updater.exe" (as per the title of this thread), or would you like to install the "updater.exe" but having it in sort of "neutral" mode (not checking for updates).

If it is the first one, then you can conditionally install the updater.exe, as explained in the following article:

How to conditionally install a file or a registry

If it is the second scenario, then unless you are using updater as a service/scheduled task (that automatically updates), then the user can simply ignore the updater.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Catalin

Thank you for the fast replay,
it's about disabling the installation of the updater.exe and the scheduled job.
thank for the article, this will solve the problem
