Silent updates - SOLVED

[sl23]

Not quite sure why you locked the thread highend, you seem to get uptight a little too quickly, I wasn't having a go, I was just saying it was cryptic. You took it the wrong way, sorry for any offence it was unintentional.

All I'm trying to do is get a little help with an issue, so could you please not lock this thread or delete it.

Don, do you have any idea why I would be getting several windows appear? Is there anything I can change in the settings or a tweak that affects the update procedure?

[admin]

Well, show your code. It might inspire me.

[sl23]

I did in the other thread and it's the same as you used, which is what's strange!

Code: Select all

update 1 + 16 + 128;

I think one of the windows is the UAC like you said, but the other 3 are XY's.
Thanks

Looks good. In my test I ran it through the address bar. Can you tried that?

[sl23]

I don't use the address bar only breadcrumb. Is that what you specifically want me to try? I'll set it up and try, but XY is up to date at present.

Download .0100 here:

Paste update 1 + 16 + 128; into the address bar and press ENTER.

Just doing that now.
I did setup the toolbar and test the script. When I hit enter... nothing happened? lol I assume it's working, but silently?

[sl23]

Ok, so, the fresh copy updated silently too, except UAC, but I understand you can't do anything with that.
Am I doing something wrong when using that script in a button or via the CEA startup?

[admin]

It does not work from a toolbar button?

[sl23]

When I clicked the toolbar button using the same script, I always got that window in the screenshot you posted, oddly, now when I click it, nothing happens! I have to assume it's checking silently. No idea why it's now working correctly. Hopefully that's sorted, sorry if I wasted your time and thank you very much for your help. Apologies, again to highend, I meant no offence

[sl23]

Sorry, one last thing...
I just checked the XY/Temp folder, it contains the latest installer. Maybe this is impractical, pointless, or some other reason for being a dumb idea... but can't you have XY check if it's a portable setup and if so download the zip package and use that as the update instead? So we wouldn't have that UAC prompt either then. Just a thought.

[highend]

A UAC prompt appears because the XY folder is inside a UAC-protected path^^

Extracting a .zip archive and copying files (instead of using an installer that does the same) into THAT folder would change WHAT?

That's a rhetorical question, DO NOT answer it...

[sl23]

Thanks for the response.
Actually it's not even on the system drive, though it is set as the default file manager, so maybe that makes a difference?

I wouldn't know if it's extracted, it could be executed as a normal installer for all I know.

[sl23]

Just thought I'd let you know that it's working as expected now, thank you for your help.
