Unattended installation of eePe updates #77

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
This is mostly applicable to Windows and is aimed to improve user experience 
during automatic update. Not sure if any of this is valid for Linux or any 
other platforms. 

When eePe finds an update to itself, it offers to run the installer (that's how 
it works now). 

Enhancement: If user agrees to run the update through eePe, the installer 
should be started in unattended mode, meaning it should:

1. Close running eePe application (offering users to save their data, if 
something is not saved)
2. Run install process in "unattended" mode, overwriting existing installation 
of eePe - without asking questions
3. Start eePe again (the new, updated version)

So the message offering to run the installer (after new version is downloaded) 
should also warn user that eePe will be restarted during the update. If user 
agrees with that one, he shouldn't get any other questions (unless he has an 
unsaved eeprom open) and the new eePe should be started automatically after the 
installation process finishes.

If user does not agree to run the update through eePe, he could always run the 
file manually and get all the regular questions during the install process.

I guess with the frequent updates this is almost a necessity :)

I'll see what I can do.

Very simple to do...
Just exec installer passing /S as argument...
