What's new in version 1.62 is the following information :

"When you install Rainbow using ".msi per machine" installer, disable the automatic update pop-up window."

Which function is used to delete the pop-up when executing the msi file ?

Thanks

Hello,

This is done by setting /DisableAutoUpdate flag in msiexec command:

MSI User online:
msiexec /i "Rainbow_Installer_User_1.62.0.0.msi" WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/DisableAutoUpdate"

MSI User offline:
msiexec /i "Rainbow_Installer_User_Offline_1.62.0.0.msi" WRAPPED_ARGUMENT="/DisableAutoUpdate"

Regards,

Claire

Hello Claire ans Fabrice,
This registry key isn't created automatically, it must be added manually.

Otherwise, it works!

Thanks

Hello Fabrice,

For 64bit machines, you should have a new registry key created HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise\Rainbow DisableAutoUpdate of type DWORD and value 1.

Could you please verify this?

Thanks and regards,

Hello Valentin,

Thanks for your feedback.

Would it be possible to send me through Rainbow the logs of the MSI installation? You will find them in Windows\Temp.

We will have a look at them.

Regards,

Claire

Is this only concerns 1.62 or future versions too?

Our customers are already annoyed about the update pop up

Hello Harald,

It's available since 1.62. So yes, from now, all versions will have this mechanism.

Claire

Hello Claire,

I just got the logs from the MSI installation. By what means do you want me to transmit them to you?

Hello Valentin,

Could you please share the file with me through Rainbow ? I am a public user, so visible to everyone:

Thanks a lot!

What happens if the user doesn't allow update after multiple sprints?

Hello,

Rainbow servers being in version N, we will not support client in version less than N-1.

Hello Claiere,

we´re using windows 8.1. with the offline installer per machine (version 1.69.3). To disable the autoupdate function we need change the regkey from "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise\Rainbow DisableAutoUpdate" to "HKLM\Software\Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise\Rainbow DisableAutoUpdate". Is this the regKey path for future versions too?

Regards,

Alex

Hello,

You can use following commands at the installation:

MSI User online:
msiexec /i "Rainbow_Installer_User_1.xx.0.0.msi" WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/DisableAutoUpdate"

MSI User offline:
msiexec /i "Rainbow_Installer_User_Offline_1.xx.0.0.msi" WRAPPED_ARGUMENT="/DisableAutoUpdate"

Regards,

Claire

Hello,

thanks for your fast response. Can I use this WRAPPED_ARGUMENT also for the "Rainbow_Installer_Machine_Offline.msi"

or does it only works for the user based installation type?

Regards

Yes, it should work for both types: per machine online/offline and per user online/offline.
