Good day!

In experimenting with AutoPatcher I am quite pleased!

I am trying to run autopatcher with an Answer File and unattended and ran across a few things.

In the pinned cmdline options there is no mention of noeula but nolicense. There is no mention of unattend options such as :t1, t2 or t3. I located t2 and t3 on another forum topic. I can see no difference in what unattend:t2 and unattend:t3 do. Is there a difference"? I read that t3 was supposed to be completely silent, whatever that means. And minimal still shows a UI.

And lastly, I need or would like to run AutoPatcher completely unattended, hidden if you will. I am writing a Win32 service that will check for an updated aaf based on the users OS and if found, map the share to a drive and run autopatcher. The cmdline I am using is similar to the one below.

X:\autopatcher.exe /answerfile:X:\WinXP.aaf /noeula /unattend:t3

Anyway is there a hidden option?

Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know you like AutoPatcher!

In your final question, if you mean can you run AutoPatcher as a hidden program, the answer is no. That is completely the opposite of what AutoPatcher was designed to do.

Running silently means that there is no need for the user to provide further input.

Also, beware of finding options on other forums. They usually refer to an earlier edition of AutoPatcher, which had different options. Make sure that references are to the current version only (5.6). Anything further back than a year ago (roughly) may not work, or may have no effect.
