Silent Install Critical Updates, Display Non Critical

Hi,

When using the Auto Updater.

Unless I'm missing something (and i have search fairly extensively) there is no option to silently install all critical updates but display the update information dialog if there is a "non-Critical" update available.

This would be a really useful enhancement especially when using the Scheduled task as a Update Execution mechanism.

Thanks
Daniel

Re: Silent Install Critical Updates, Display Non Critical

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

As you already observed we don't have any predefined command line option for this scenario. We have added this improvement on our TODO list and maybe it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can integrate the Updater with your application. For example. you can proceed like this:
1. call the Updater with the /justcheck -critical command
2. check the Updater return code and if found updates launch Updater with /silentcritical command
3. call the Updater with the /checknow command (this will display only the remaining non-critical updates if found)

If you have any question let us know.

All the best,
Daniel
