    Hey KKIM5181,

    If you launch the ReadyAPI options you'll see a checkbox (to automatically check for updates) that is ticked by default.

    Within ReadyAPI do the following:

    1. Click on File >> Preferences
    2. Click on Version Update (within the Notifications parent) and untick the checkbox with the label "Automatically check for new versions of ReadyAPI"

    This should stop the auto update prompt.

    Cheers,

    Hello Rich,

     

    Is there any batch script I can use to prevent auto update for the users for silent installation?

     

    Thanks,

      Hey KKIM5181,

      Ooh! Good question. Dunno is my answer. Setting wont be in a project .xml or composite files. Suspect itd be saved in ReadyAPIs settings.xml file...

      Actually, i did find the following post that was posted for open source SoapUI. Im guessing the same or similar for ReadyAPI --> https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source-Questions/Disable-Remove-Check-for-Updates/td-p/30225

      Im curious about this now myself. I'll give it a go later when i get the chance.

      Hope this helps!

      Cheers,

      Rich

      A very late answer, but I had the same question and found this thread. After some investigations of my own, I found it. In case you haven't found a solution yet, the settings is stored in the file %USERPROFILE%\.readyapi\readyapi-settings.xml. It's an XML file and the setting is in the XML code

      <con:setting id="VersionUpdateSettings@auto-check-version-update">true</con:setting>

      What you need is an apropriate command to edit this file and replace "true" with "false"
