Proper updating steps

[joebrug]

I have Everything 1.5a (1383a) x86 installed on a windows file server. "Start Everything on system startup, Everything Service, and Run as Administrator" boxes are checked within it. I also have the Everything Server plugin enabled (everything_server32.dll v1.0.0.1).

What's the proper method to upgrade to latest on server?

On the workstations, I have "Network Indexes" set with "fileserver2"
I've typically used "everything.exe -install "c:\program files (x86)\Everything" -install-options "-app-data -install-start-menu-shortcuts install-desktop-shortcut"

Is this the right way to upgrade workstations?

Thanks!

Yes.

Silent Install



To manually update Everything:
In Everything, From the File menu, click Exit.
Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
Click the Services tab.
Right click Everything and click Stop.
Replace your Everything.exe
Restart Everything



Easier way if you can remember the search commands:
In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:

/stop-service

Type in the following search and press ENTER:

/exit

Replace your Everything.exe
Restart Everything
