Disable Autoupdate on Applicationserver client

[Johan]

Dear all.

We have som trouble with the client.
The setup is configured to not automatically check for updates with the MSI property. But still the clients shows a popup that there is a new version, and then the users download it and installs it if they are local administrators.

This is a major problem because all software installations is made centrally with software deployment.

Is there anyone that have noticed this or have a solution.

Hi there,

Normally users that are given admistritave rights cannot be controlled at all so I do not see an issue that they can update their clients. If they update the client they can still connect with the old server.

If you really would like to stop any user from checking for new updates, update the msi and change the CHECKUPDATELAUNCH to 0.

For any changes to have effect on the client on MUST also set the OVERRIDEUSERSETTINGS to 1.

Hi

I've already changed the CHECKUPDATELAUNCH to 0 in the MSI, I will try the OVERRIDEUSERSETTINGS setting.

Whenever one needs to over ride any user settings using the MSI one needs to change the required options eg. CHECKUPDATELAUNCH & the OVERRIDEUSERSETTINGS so that the client will retrive the new settings.

Hi, Could you please give me the registry values for theese settings.
We have deployed the clients and would like to change this value without reinstalling with the new msi including the properties.

If I have the registry value, I can send out a script to change that setting

Hi there,

If you want to disable this feature, you need to set the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\2X\AppServerClient\CheckForUpdateOnLaunch = 0

Please note that this must be set for each user and this setting must be done while the 2X Client is not running.
