UpdateShield Integrator Console

Besides the standard interface, UpdateShield Integrator is also available in the console mode, or called a command line program that does not use the Windows graphical user interface. An advantage of the console mode is that the automatic software update (as well as code protection) system provided by UpdateShield Integrator can be included as one of the stages in the build process, i.e. after an executable file is produced by the compiler, and before it is packaged into the installer. Therefore, you can automatically and instantly create the protected version of your application on any build.

Usage

To run UpdateShield Integrator in the console mode, you must first create a template file to be passed as an input parameter. The template file can be created by running UpdateShield Integrator in the standard GUI mode. You can simply follow the Integrator wizard dialogs to specify the settings and options, and then choose to save all the settings as a template file.

The following is the UpdateShield Integrator Console command usage.

Usage: USINTCON <Template File> <Options>

Template File: The template file created by UpdateShield Integrator (GUI)
