Pass install parameters to upgrade

Wed Sep 06, 2017 12:13 pm

Hi,

I am trying to update my products automatically. I want to use "install parameters" that used "First time install" while upgrading.

How can i do it?

Re: Upgrade pass install parameters

Hello,

To implement this you should go in "Install Parameters" page, double click on a property and select "Set persistent property" option. Please take a look here: Edit Property Dialog

If you enable this option, the property will be stored in the registry and available in maintenance mode (repair, uninstall, etc.) and during upgrade installation. If the property is changed during maintenance, its value will not be stored in the registry.

Please let us know if that helped, otherwise give us more details about your specific scenario.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thanks for reply. It works.
I want to ask related question. Is there any way to hide/skip user interaction dialogs when upgrading?

Hello,

To implement this you could use our "Updater" feature.

I would recommend taking a look on our Updater tutorials : Deploying updates of your application

For silent updates you should go to "Updates" page of your project and select "Hide updater GUI when installing updates" and "Install Support Service" options.

In the "Updates Configuration file" you should enable "Install update without elevation" option from "Update Installer" tab.
