Update Silent download NOT install

[NigelShaw]

Hi

Im downloading an updated version of a file using the updater but the downloaded file isnt an exe, its a dll. I just need the file to download and replace the existing file in the folder but what happens is, it gets placed into a new folder of the new version instead eg. Version 1.2.0

How can i prevent this extra folder being created and instead, this file just getting downloaded to the root folder?

I had tried it before using the complete process but because its a dll, the install fails when it tries to install the file...


Thanks

Hi

i resolved this in code. I was able to download the file only using /silentall -justdownload. This placed in in the version specific folder. I then ran some code to get the sub folder (its the only 1 there), move the downloaded file up a level then delete the folder


Thanks
