Hello,

I need my users to install updates manually, so I need to disable automatic package installation when their PCs shut down.

How can I properly disable this feature?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-advance ... it-utility

You can use waptexit_disable_upgrade=0 in wapt-get.ini.

Waptexit will still start but will not launch any upgrades or installations.

However, during a shutdown, if an installation is already underway, it will restart to allow the installation time to finish what it started.

Good morning,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I had seen that, but I can't find the option when I create a configuration package:

Am I required to deploy a manual modification to wapt-get.ini?

Not the very latest one, I think; I'm on version 2.6.0.16552
