how to disable ReadyAPI update from Windows 10

Hello, I am testing ReayAPI 3.20.0 and is there any way to disable auto update?

I tried to find xml files and couldn't find any information.

 

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

    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,

    Rich

      Hello Rich,

       

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

       

      Thanks,

        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"
