Koby,
The process does not AUTO-INSTALL the update. It copies the approximately 350 MB installer to the client computer if there is an update available.
The whole process works like this:
- Get current version on main computer (scheduled to run at 12 AM every day by default)
- Check if newer version is available (this is a quick web check)
- If newer version available, download the available file, otherwise quit the process
- Once complete, check that the file download is good (hash checksum comparison)
- If download is good, update 'UpdateVersions.xml'
- At 2AM clients will begin checking 'UpdateVersions.xml' for a version newer than installed.
- If newer version is found, copy the available installer to the client machine.
There is no user interface for the customer to modify the behavior of the check for updates.
Note that every process checks for available disk space on the target machine. If there isn't available disk space for the size of the install package plus 100 MB left over, then it does not copy the file, even if it is available.
When updates are available, you will be notified that an update downloaded and is available in your messages.
In today's environment of security risk for our customers, keeping updated is hugely important. Being notified of available updates and having them conveniently automatically downloaded to the main computer and the clients saves you, our customers, lots of time.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
