Hello,

above function allows updating current Win8.1SE installation to newest version.
Plugins, settings and so on are preserved.

It occurs one additional question:
If updating, formerly downloaded plugins are updated to, isn't it?
What happens, if a downloaded plugin has been updated by myself ("by hand"), and afterwords a new run 'utils\update...' is performed?

Example:
..\Win81SE\Projects\Win8.1SE\AppY\Security\VeraCrypt.Link
downloads through 'utils\update...' an outdated version of veracrypt.script to:
..\Win81SE\Projects\Yomi\AppY\Security\VeraCrypt.Script

In Win8.1SE it is possible to update included veracrypt.7z to newest version 1.17, WinPE-building and later execution of Veracrypt-1.17 run without problems.

Will a new run run 'utils\update...' overwrite this updated plugin?
How to solve this issue?
How is version checking while 'utils\update...' performed?

Thx + regards!

You can inform updates at \Downloads\
so we can update... ;)

I just updated VeraCrypt plugin on server,
 use \Downloads\.... to get new version.

Most info you ask is available at

Adding 3rd party plugins: \Downloads\ - MyPlugins_Direct - Yomi
http://TheOven.org/index.php?topic=1208.0

'Utils\Update...'
For now only updates from project server -> on your example Win8.1SE\'Utils\Update...' only updates Win8.1SE
--> it does not touch other folders, other project folders or other personal plugin folders etc....

For now it does not update plugins downloaded via \Downloads\ which belongs to Download server Yomi -> info available at http://TheOven.org/index.php?topic=1208.0
ps: it is a be good idea but no time, maybe in far future....

'Utils\Update...' uses safe conventional way to update.
Get mirror copy of server via update (md5 check)
Copy updated project to new (cleaned) project folder + keep settings.

with other words: restore project to factory settings with updates + keep settings
-> plugins out of project naturally not effected
---> on your example you still have VeraCrypt available at left tree.

For other questions, after reading link, if still needed,
ask one by one, it will be short to reply and easier to understand  :wink: :great:
