Customized Installation

Hi,

Asking for your kind assistance and insights regarding the installation of EasyMorph.

We are trying to customize the installation of Easymorph Desktop on our fleet machines.
These are the things that we would like to happen after the installation.

  1. Skip option should be selected in this part. (Please refer to the attached image "image for item #1)

  2. Check for Updates option should be disabled. (Please refer to the attached image "image for item #2). We have tried to change the value of Check for Update in EasyMorph.config.xml file but it did not work as the app overwrite the file once the user run the application.


Best Regards.

The installer does change the configuration file, but the application doesn't change it on opening, only on closing. Replacing EasyMorph.config.xml after installation and before first application run is the right way to do silent installs with pre-configuration. To accommodate for your requirements, ensure that these tags are present in EasyMorph.config.xml inside the <Configuration> tag:

<FirstScreenCompleted>true</FirstScreenCompleted>

The above will skip the initial onboarding screen.

<CheckUpdates>
    <CheckUpdatesOption>Manual</CheckUpdatesOption>
</CheckUpdates>

The above will disable automatic update checks.

:bulb: Note that the application must be closed when you patch the configuration file. Otherwise, when the application closes, it will overwrite your changes.

Thank you so much for your respnose.

The details that you have provided works, but is there any other option for the Check for Update where it will be unclickable for the user?

Unfortunately, no. Currently, there is no way to block updates entirely.
