Then if you really need to, you can also add this as a scheduled task, to run every week at 5:00 AM Friday, just hours after it is usually released and in the middle of the night when you're not up anyway.
Based on the discussion here (although it was for linux): https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=24
You could always modify that script into a bat script. It was mainly for testing to see if the latest version was installed. The whole discussion was pretty cool though. |
Oooh, I never knew you could feed msiexec a URL instead of a local file.
Currently I use a batch file that uses cURL to download the file to a temp file.
