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.

      Hi,

       

      Ok, I've managed to do that using this commanline - powershell "Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile c:\\temp\\TestExecute1481.exe -Uri https://my.smartbear.com/downloads/TestExecute1481.exe" 

      Now we have another issue, while installing the TE on the vm it seems to log off, is it because of something to do with the installer or is it more likely to be related to Azure? that happened when i tried to run it manually and also via Jenkins.

       

      Thanks,

        What is it that logs off and at what point in the process does that happen?

      Thanks,

      The first step saying to deploy the 

      TestExecute1481_release.exe file on the target machine, I guess they mean to have the latest TE build placed on the target machine right? we can't basically do that as we are creating the vm once the pipeline is running so, the target machine hasn't been created yet. is there way to download the latest TE installer via commandline as well? this way we can download it also via the pipeline before doing the upgrade.
