Deploy updates automatically
If you're a software developer or an IT professional, you know
how beneficial it is to keep your users updated with the very
latest versions of your programs.
Not only do you get to sell more upgrades, but your support costs
are dramatically lower when everyone is using the latest versions
of your application.
AutoUpdate+ lets you:
* Have your programs automatically check your server for
available upgrades to your application.
* Save yourself time and trouble by not having to inform your
users by email of new program versions.
* Configure your updates to work the way you want them to,
without spending your valuable resources writing an updating
system.
Vista support? Take a look at five reasons why AutoUpdate+ is
essential for you.
1) Admin account not required!
* All our competitors offer an update solution that
requires users to be logged in with an administrator
account. This means that many Windows 2000 and XP users
cannot update, as they will not have the appropriate
permissions. It's a more serious problem with Vista,
which does not allow any users to run by default as
admin. AutoUpdate+ is the only tool that can work on
Vista, without requiring administrator logon and
without excessive security warnings.
2) Complete flexibility and control
* All update behaviors are defined remotely. We offer
features such as silent updates, messages that are
defined per update, ability to update the registry and
execute supporting files and a script that is human
readable and easy to integrate with your backend server
logic.
3) Flexible delivery mechanism
* You can use either an http, https, ftp or file server
for your updates. Backup servers are also supported.
4) No expertise needed
* AutoUpdate+ does not require any user scripting,
unusual installation steps or bundling with large
framework packages (such as .NET). The product works
right out of the box.
5) Excellent support services
* We are looking forward to deploying AutoUpdate+ with
your product. To assist, we offer a support capability
which is second-to-none.
Updates on Vista
Below is a list of 5 common Vista problems that update packages
encounter. Each problem will either generate security warnings or
force your app to launch only with admin credentials:
Access permissions:
* The Program Files directory and HKLM are strictly off-limits
and require privilege elevation to modify.
Detection heuristics:
* Various heuristics, such the import table of your executable,
are used by Vista to know if to launch your app under admin
credentials. This can cause problems if the update check is
built into your app.
Keywords in use:
* Files with the words setup, install or update will require
admin credentials to run. Be careful not to use the word update
anywhere in the file name or properties, or your app will
trigger Vista security warnings.
File APIs:
* Programmers can still use the standard file manipulation APIs,
but be careful... permission failures may not be detected due
to File Virtualization automatically redirecting you to a
per-user copy of the file.
Service interaction:
* The 'allow service to interact with desktop' option is no
longer acceptable. If you have written an Update Service, it
must not have any user interaction that requires a GUI.
