wyUpdate from command line with no UI

Hello,

I would like to run wyUpdate for my application but I want it to do the job without showing any dialogs and with no requirement to press Finish button. Is it possible to run it somehow and then get an exit code when the update process is finished?

Or running it as a service is the only option?

cheers,Sergey

Hey Sergey,

We cover this in-depth in the FAQ "How can I completely hide the updater (wyUpdate)?". We've just updated the answer to that question to go further in depth in the various options. If you don't want to create a dummy Windows Service to do the completely silent updating, then see the "Hide the slow steps (option 2: standalone wyUpdate)" section.

In wyBuild 2.7.x or 2.8.x we're adding a drop-in solution for completely UI-less updates. However, we still recommend exposing a UI to your users.

Tell me if this helps.

Thank you for much!Yes, of course the users need to see the dialog. It is for a special 'development' version of the application which runs automated tests.

cheers,Sergey
