Hi all,
I have some setups that should be updated very frequently because
software authors will update programs very often. Examples: Skype, ClamWin.
Here is my approach to fix the problem for Skype:
---snip---
todo.pl "%Z%\packages\skype\skypesetup.exe /SILENT /NORESTART"
todo.pl "wget --directory-prefix=%Z%\packages\skype
http://download.skype.com/SkypeSetup.exe";
todo.pl "del %z%\packages\skype\skypesetup.exe"
---snip---
The script will wget the newest installer from the Skype web site each
time. Of course, a copy of wget.exe must be placed in \\server\install\bin.
Disadvantages:
- this will only work if download URLs keep the same and version numbers
will not be part of setup file name -> so this will not work for ClamWin
- when installing multiple PCs on the same day, this will cause
multiple, unnecessary downloads.
Any better ideas to deal with the problem?
Regards
Gerhard
