[RESOLVED] Rainbow package auto-update issues

[EdouardB78]

Hello,

The official Rainbow package is configured with the "machine" version; automatic updates don't work because administrator privileges are required.

It's better to use the user version and replace the `download_url` variable with

`download_url = "https://web.openrainbow.com/downloads/R ... er-x64.msi"`
instead of `
download_url = "https://web.openrainbow.com/downloads/R ... ne-x64.msi"`

Sincerely

, Edouard BRU

Hello Edouard,

Wapt's philosophy is to give administrators a tool that allows them to control their network. Therefore, we don't want applications to update automatically independently of Wapt, and we don't want Wapt to control the versions of applications installed on the network.

Furthermore, when using AppLocker or SRP, we don't want to launch executables from the user directory.

However, if using the MSI package, which installs in the user context and updates automatically, better suits your needs, you can of course update the package on your own internal repository.

Best regards,

Bertrand

Hello Edouard,

normally we try to disable automatic software updates. If it's not disabled for this software, it's a bug in the package. There shouldn't be any user notification for the update. It's up to the WAPT administrator to validate the new update and push it to the network.

Regards,

Denis
