First one done, your Desktop should notify there is a new update.
I will investigate second request.
I am trying to write a .BAT file to automate the new-version-install process:
_*`: PURPOSE: To force Bling to update itself to the latest-and-greatest :* Viewer code
TASKKILL /IM Bling.exe
C: CD %appdata%\Roaming\Bling Desktop\Html\viewer DEL .
CD %userprofile%/Documents/Bling.exe/Download/Versions DEL .
C:\Users\Kolon\AppData\Roaming\"Bling Desktop"\bling.exe
PAUSE`**_
Seems to work... sort of (trips on a couple Deletes if not run in Admin mode), but the last line - where we want to restart Bling does not seem to work.
Windows throws a momendary dialog "Checking.... (something-or-other)..." which then disappears without having started Bling.
Any thoughts?
C:\Users\Kolon\AppData\Roaming"Bling Desktop"\bling.exe
This line lacks a \ before bling and needs to be without quotes.
I have just released a new Desktop version with a new installer that allows reinstalling without uninstalling. No longer a msi but an exe. Also moved from roaming to local folder.
On a separate note, next release will also notify of new desktop releases (hopefully). In fact, viewer is automatically downloaded and loaded by the current application. When a new viewer is available you should see a notification toast in your windows 10. I will double check if this funtionality has been lost during other modifications as another user is not having these notifications neither.
Add code to 'About' option so user can verify which version they are running
Upgrade .msi to auto-uninstall old version before installing new version.
