Hi,

I would to have a better update method in JRiver.

Instead of downloading a new installer, why not download the new files and restart the application?

Thanks

There isn't another option.  Sorry.

Would it be possible for the server to actually push updates to the clients? That way you would only have one master to take care of, and all other units would installed and restarted upon next Library Server connection. That would save me a lot of updating. Probably others as well.

Maybe in the future you can change your mind and implement something like this...

Now that's a smart plan. Like it.

... but there are 2 variations on the theme:

1. Update within MC
2. Download the install file and then launch (handy for rolling back if needed)

At the end they are the same...

Agreed. At least you're across that point of detail. Sweet..

FWIW... It would be nice if somehow (and I don't know if this is possible) you could schedule MC to apply any pending updates at 2am every Wednesday, or something like that.  And have it completely automated.

You could just script MC to close and then to restart itself, which would run any pending installers.  But the issue is the UAC prompt, which won't approve itself, and if it needs to reboot it waits at the click next to reboot screen (and for reasons I still haven't figured out, my HTPC again still needs to reboot essentially 100% of the time).

So... I agree it isn't 100% ideal.  I have quite a few different installs spread around on machines I only occasionally touch, and they often get way out of date.

And have it completely automated.

It has to prompt for UAC elevation, so automated is sort of impossible.  It already runs the update with only that prompt if you use the Update Channel.

I suspected as much. How does Chrome do it though, I wonder?

Chrome puts its binaries into AppData.

Chrome puts its binaries into AppData.

I kinda figured that out after I wrote that...
