automatic program update

[martinh22]

You're not considering updating the program itself to a newer version of the program? Once you upload the new version to the server.

You can always create the automatic script in the setup in order to make it FULLY automatic.

So how to modify it to automatically download and install?

Cobian Reflector.crauto
Language=CZECH
Accept license=True
Directory=C:\Program Files\Cobian Reflector
Create icons=True
Create script=False
Installation type=2
Service account=0
User id=
Password=hjtd23EOs04=
Start UI=True
Install VSC=True

Next time you install, just check tis option

Just download, run the setup (with this file in the same directory), accept the elevation and it won't ask any more questions.

okay, but I meant it a little differently.

I thought you were planning for the future, that the program itself will find out the current version of the program, and download it from the server and install it in the background without me having to do a manual install.

I have your program on multiple devices at work, it would make it easier to install on all devices.

I understand. But it's a lot MORE complex that for example, autoupdate Chrome.

1- The setup must be executed in elevated mode, which means the user MUST accept the elevation OR that a new service must ve written ad executed as System only for the autoupdate.

2- IF a new service is written, then if the user wants to install with autostart for THAT user only, then how does the service know which user wants the autostart?

3. I'm sure there are some other questions to solve. It would be a lot easier if the installation was an standard "application" mode for all.

I'm sure there is a solution for that as well, but as soon as version 1.0 is released you won't see a new update for veeeery long (that one I asure you).

So it seems like not a priority right now anyway.
