Help With Auto Update

Post by Whirl »

I am using the Pro version of Actual Installer (9.6) and using the Update Feature which is built into it.

Isuue:
When the Update dialog pops up telling me there is an update for MyApp, I have to close MyApp before I can proceed to install the update.

Question:
Is there a way to get the Updater to Automatically close MYApp and then proceed with installing the update?
I have gone through all the settings I can think of with no sucess.

Thanks

Yes, it is possible:
To force close the app (without prompting the user to close it), add -ForceClose to the Update Parameters field.
