PeriData Update-Rollout

If PeriData is ALREADY INSTALLED, the rollout on all computers in a network can be AUTOMATIZED.

Method 1: EASY-UPDATE Batchfile

A prepared BATCH file copies the new files to the program directory and the exchange directory. The batch file is packed into a ZIP archive together with the new files.

Download the current ZIP container >> Peridata-Easy-Update-5.0.0.0.zip and extract it to a directory on the TARGET computer Start the batch file Start-Easy-Update-Run-As-ADMIN.bat

NOTE: The batch file must be executed on the TARGET computer, because it needs the local environmental variable "PeriDataProgDir" giving the target directory

Method 2: Rollout to the standard directory

Implement a copy procedure into your own update routine.

Procedure: Install PeriData on a fresh computer (or a computer where the program directory "Periwin" was deleted). Make a copy of all files from the program directory C:\Program Files\PeriData\PERIWIN\. Implement a copy routine to the same directory of the target PC into your update.

Note: This method causes problems if some target computers have no prior installation of PeriData or use a different program directory. You may check the environmental variable "PeriDataProgDir" to verify an existing standard installation.

Method 3: Setup file with parameters

Use the PeriData-Setup Exe file: Implement a call to this file originating from the target PC with parameters to make the update smooth and silent:
/SILENT no dialogs, only progress bar
/VERYSILENT no display
/NORESTART prevents a restart

WARNING ! Never delete any files, only copy ! There may be files that have individual settings and changes !
