Portable update

[Phenom]

Hey, this may be a dumb question but, how do I update the portable version of Everything?

[therube]

(I don't know what, Help | Check for updates... does?
If it only notifies or if it would download?)

Anyhow... what I do...

Download the update (or version) I want.
From wherever I have Everything "installed", I do (after having first Quit Everything):

c:/locate/Everything.exe -uninstall-service

Copy (new) Everything.exe overtop (old) Everything.exe

c:/locate/Everything.exe -install-service

Then, fire up Everything.

The uninstall/install of the service may not be needed (?), but I figure since I may not know if something has changed on the service end, & it only takes a moment to accomplish, I just do it.


(Looks like the an update check should at least notify, http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 722#p24722 [other "update" considerations, noted in that thread, aside]. [I have no idea what happens after that, if there is an update & it downloads?])

Create a .bat file and save it into the Everything folder

Code: Select all

net stop Everything
pause
net start Everything

Exit Everything and run the bat file as admin and press any key after you replace the exe

This is what I use: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6824

The update script is at the end, but it requires ManageServiceRestricted.cmd to reconfigure the services to be stopped/started as a regular user.

If interested, I posted another version of that somewhere on this forum (but couldn't find it)

Thanks everyone for all your help, it looks like my question has been answered.
