4D v14

Overview

'AutoUpdate' XML keys are available beginning with 4D v14. They allow you to elevate the installation privileges under Windows, so that the "updater" utility can install merged applications (clients and/or server) in protected system locations such as the "Desktop".

Note: It is generally not recommended to install merged applications in the "Program Files" folder under Windows since this folder includes specific mechanisms that are incompatible with the functioning of 4D applications.

When these keys are set to True and the "updater" program attempts to update an applications in a protected location, a warning dialog box informs you that administrator privileges are required. If necessary, a dialog box appears on the machine so that you can log on using an administrator account.
