I once looked up how, trying to see if there was any way to duplicate the way you can easily do simple command-line installation on linux. Turns out there's a way.
Not as easy, but at least once you know where the msi is, it's just one command.
It should probably look something like this:
Code:
@echo off
calibre-debug.exe -c "import urllib as u; from calibre.constants import numeric_version; raise SystemExit(int(numeric_version < (tuple(map(int, u.urlopen('http://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/latest_version').read().split('.'))))))"
if %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
echo calibre is up to date.
)
else (
calibre.exe --shutdown-running-calibre
msiexec /i http://status.calibre-ebook.com/dist/win32
)
But I make no promises.
Also, you can put whatever you do decide to use for upgrading, into a weekly task. Running it every week on Friday at 6:00 AM will mean it gets upgraded just hours after each new release, while you are most likely asleep. (Unless you are still up organizing your metadata.
)
Setting a scheduled task,
