Process Exit Codes for Updater

Have not seen this present?

Would be nice if the Updater returned valid exit codes for different status'.

For example returning Exit code 2 could mean Updates available, etc ... makes for easier consumption into applications - if you want to force an upgrade of the application before your application launches (like in a splash screen).

At the moment this is a challenge to get working reliably.

Hi,

I have added this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.

I would like to know if that option is available in the version 6.8.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, in the 6.8 version the Updater returns different values based on its status. You can see the possible values here.
