Launcher Wizard: Auto-Update Integration


  In this step of the launcher wizard you can configure if a GUI launcher should execute downloaded update installers at startup.

Note: this advanced option screen is reachable by selecting the "Executable" step and choosing "Menu name" from the Advanced options popup menu or by clicking directly on the index.

  In the screens & actions step, you can add a "Background updater" installer application that runs in the background and automatically downloads an updater installer. Such a background updater will not execute the downloaded update installer because that would disrupt the work of the user. Instead, it executes a "Schedule update installation" action to register the downloaded updated installer for later execution.

For GUI launchers, you can select the Execute downloaded updater installers at startup check box in this step. When this GUI installer is started and a downloaded update installer has been scheduled for installation, the update installer will be executed.

By default, the execution mode of the update installer is set to "Unattended mode with progress dialog", but in this step you can change it to a different execution mode. If "Unattended mode with progress dialog" is selected, you can customize the message in the progress window.
