update 1; relaunch?

[JLoftus]

Just updated from 17.30.0203 to 0204 using "update 1;" works great, thanks for this. One thing would be nice, like the SimpleUpdater script, would be to relaunch XY.

Maybe add a yes/no to relaunch?

As I said in the change log:

Code: Select all

        - When the update is finished you have to manually restart XYplorer. (If 
          it would be restarted from the installer it would inherit the elevated 
          rights of the installer, something you should better control 
          yourself.)

ah, missed that! Sorry Don, thanks!

BTW, I don't run XY elevated, and the SimpleUpdater script doesn't prompt UAC, yet it restarts?

Then your XYplorer.exe is not located in a protected folder.

I'm still thinking about a way to handle this...

v17.30.0205 - 2016-11-19 12:58
+ SC update enhanced: Added flags that allow to auto-run the app after
install. Note, however, that the app will be run as administrator. There
is no way to run it as user (since it's done from the elevated installer).

Couldn't you just check if the current XY is a portable or installed one (portable = Startup.ini is missing ||
XYplorer.exe is NOT in an UAC protected folder)
and start the installer with / without admin permissions?

Indeed, My XY is in fact installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)" however, I did grant my non-admin user full rights to that folder some time ago. Now it makes more sense, thanks.

Don, you're free to reuse my code

Yes, I could. But that would require me to update, compile, and upload two separate installers for each beta release since the execution level has to be decided at compile time, not at runtime. That's just too much trouble.

Thanks, but I prefer to outsource (almost) all problems to NSIS installer, not to insource new ones.
