Describe your feature request here

Sometimes, automatic updates are not feasible in certain environments. Can I download the new version of the azure-pipelines-agent package and use the Command line to update the current Self-Agent version?

Hi @KingstonFE, unfortunately, we don't have a command line argument for an update, but as a temporary solution you could use bash or cmd template, basically the script just links new version with bin folder.

We'll try to implement an agent update via the cmd interface in the future.

I also believe that having an offline installation method is very important.

I might say that is possible I've done something similar. It isn't updating the currently installed agent but scripting the replacement of an agent. Run a "config.cmd remove ...." against the old agent and then a "config.cmd /unattended ..." to configure a new one using the new version. Or use the replace switch.
