automating UpdateGenerator.exe?

[cecinit]

I've sorted out a couple of patterns that I want, & now I'd like
to automate the patch download portion. I'd like to set up a
scheduled task that rebuilds the update clients every so often.

I'm a little lost on how to do this. Is it possible to run UpdateGenerator.exe
in a batch job, or is there a command line file that can accept
parameters (like update.cmd) that can do the work?

Thanks, that seems to be working.

The UI (updategenerator) has one feature that I don't see in the script -
the ability to broadcast a specific client to its own (usb) target directory.
I can sort of see how this is done from the results, and there's this in the Autoit script:

Code: Select all

If IniRead($inifilename, $ini_section_misc, $misc_token_minimize, $disabled) = $enabled Then
    $result = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /D /C CopyToTarget.cmd " & $stroptions & " """ & $strpath & """" & $strswitches, @ScriptDir & "\cmd", @SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE)
  Else
    $result = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /D /C CopyToTarget.cmd " & $stroptions & " """ & $strpath & """" & $strswitches, @ScriptDir & "\cmd", @SW_SHOW)


It looks like the scripting of CopyToTarget.cmd similar to downloadupdates.cmd. Looks like /cleanup will clean the target.

I'm not picking up any specific how-to from the forum so I want to make sure I'm not missing
something essential - any advice appreciated.

This pattern seems to work very well, I've tested it against the GUI & the results are the same:

Code: Select all

call %dlpath%\copytotarget.cmd wxp enu %tarpath%\WXP         /includedotnet /includemsse /includewddefs /cleanup
call %dlpath%\copytotarget.cmd ofc enu %tarpath%\WXP         /cleanup


Had to use "glb" for w60- and w61-
