XY-Update-Batch

after downloading the newest beta everyday, I get tired of doing the same work everyday, so i created this small batch-file:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip DEL xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip
ECHO Downloading newest beta...
WGET -q "http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip"
ECHO.
ECHO Please close XYplorer, or it will be killed (when it's get killed, it won't save your current conf!)
PAUSE
TASKKILL /IM:xyplorer.exe
ECHO.
UNZIP -o xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip XYplorer.exe -d C:\Programme\XYplorer\
ECHO.
ECHO All done... press any key to start XY
PAUSE
START C:\Programme\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe
Save that code as .bat-File, and place wget and unzip anywhere it can be found by the script. Maybe you have to change the path to XY's root to "C:\Programm Files\..." or whereever your XY is located.
I hope this will be usefull for you folks.
For those who don't have wget or unzip, download
wget here (~160kb), and
unzip here (~100kb)
(if you don't trust me, check the files with your favorite antivir
)

Thanks, I like it but for those with XPHOME it needs a few mods.
I set up a new dir in my c:\program files\xyplorer\autoupdate
in that were files
unzip.exe
wget.exe
update xyplorer.bat (see changes below for xphome)
set up udc open the bat file with a key shift+ctrl+X
all works, very good, thanks.
---------------------
changed the update xyplorer.bat as follows
---------------------
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip DEL xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip
ECHO Downloading newest beta...
WGET -q "http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip"
ECHO.
ECHO Please close XYplorer, or it will be killed (when it's get killed, it won't save your current conf!)
PAUSE
TSKILL xyplorer
ECHO.
UNZIP -o xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip XYplorer.exe -d C:\Program Files\XYplorer\
ECHO.
ECHO All done... press any key to start XY
PAUSE
cd \
cd program files\xyplorer

That batch is very usefull but isn't very shiny...
So I decided to make a second edition, more code-lines, doing the same, but reporting several status-infos and SHINY
UpdateXY.bat (or rename to your favorite name)
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
MODE CON COLS=32 LINES=17
COLOR 0F
TITLE XYp-UPDATER
REM !!!EDIT XY-PATH HERE!!!
SET xypath=C:\Programme\XYplorer\
SET C2TEXT=

SET C1TEXT=CLEANING ...
CALL status.bat
IF EXIST xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip (
DEL xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip>NUL
IF EXIST xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip SET C1TEXT=CLEANING ... [FAIL]
IF NOT EXIST xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip SET C1TEXT=CLEANING ... [DONE]
) ELSE (
SET C1TEXT=CLEANING ... [SKIP]
)
SET DTEXT=DOWNLOADING ...
CALL status.bat
WGET -q "http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip">NUL

IF NOT EXIST xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip SET C2TEXT=CLEANING ... [DONE]
) ELSE (
SET C2TEXT=CLEANING ... [SKIP]
)
CALL status.bat
ECHO. PRESS ANY KEY TO START **XYp**
PAUSE>NUL
START %xypath%XYplorer.exe>NUL
EXIT
(for wget and unzip look in the initial posting)
status.bat (if you want to rename it, you also have change the name in your main-batch-file !)
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
CLS
TITLE XYp-UPDATER
ECHO.
ECHO. XYp-UPDATER fishgod 2008
ECHO. ------------------------------

ECHO. ------------------------------
All pre-XPPRO-Users (including XY-Home) can't use the TASKKILL-command (download a alternative taskkiller (e.g.
PC-Welt KILL.EXE)) and replace "TASKKILL /F /IM:" with "KILL "
The tools WGET, UNZIP and KILL must be in the same folder as the batches are, or in a folder registerd to your local path-variable (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32)

Funny, I went the other way and now have a script to save settings, call the bat file and no interventions or displays! One single click and XY updated in about 30 seconds, loaded and on screen.

I modified what serendipity had a bit to get:
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
IF EXIST xyplorer_7.00_beta_noinstall.zip DEL xyplorer_7.00_beta_noinstall.zip
WGET -q "
http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplor ... nstall.zip"
TASKKILL /IM:xyplorer.exe
ECHO Press any key to overwrite current installation.
PAUSE
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x xyplorer_7.00_beta_noinstall.zip XYplorer.exe -y -o"C:\Program Files\XYplorer"
CD "C:\Program Files\XYplorer\"
START XYplorer.exe
I use 7-zip and that is pretty much the only difference except I removed the notifications. I also had to add a PAUSE after killing the task because it was trying to ovewrite too quickly and i was getting error messages. It also works as an oh-@%#% if I didn't want to update for some reason.
