Thanks Marsha,

 

That is very helpful.

 

What should I do in case I want to download the latest version and then silent install it? Test Execute will not let me silent install isn't it? it will come up with the trail version and all that or it won't?

Is there an FTP address we can download it from?

 

Thanks

    The silent installation works with any version.  The highlighted number here is the version number to be changed as needed.

     

     

    There is more information here about updating TestExecute

      Great , thanks

       

      I tried to run the following command line - "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\Bin\AutoUpdate.exe" /InstallAvailablePatches but, when checking the test execute version again after the upgrade, it will show the same version as before but, on the other hand it won't prompt with updates availible pop up so, I'm not sure it really did upgraded test execute, it there a different parameters to the command? as it seems like this one (/InstallAvailablePatches) is only updating the patches.

       

      Thanks

        That's because you picked the command line out of the "install patches" section and that's what it's supposed to do.  Go back to the silent install link that's in my first post and follow the instructions there.
