Commandline Options For Invoking

Top  Previous  Next

When you invoke DcUpdater.exe from your program, you should pass some commandline options:

 

        -show

           show the updater check form immediately

        -shownew

           show the updater check form ONLY if there is an update available

        -check

          start checking immediately

        -nothingexit

           exit if nothing found that needs updating

        -scandir=fulldirpathwithspaces

           scan ONLY the provided directory for .dcupdate files

 

A normally-silent background periodic check for updates would be:

dcupdater.exe -shownew -check -nothingexit "-scandir=C:\Program Files\YourAppDir"

 

Or if user manually requests a check, then show the updater progress and don't exit immediately:

dcupdater.exe -shownew -check -nothingexit "-scandir=C:\Program Files\YourAppDir"
