Download instead of install?
Posté: 07 Juillet 2010, 10:07I have some friends who live in the stone age and still have dial-up.
1. I wanted to be able to download updates rather than install them so they could pick what they want (or pick all) from my collection, is this possible? Could this be a switch on the updater so I don't have to do everything manually?
2. When I want to install EVERYTHING, I need a feature to just point to a directory containing the downloads and it would install ALL of them.
Programs like Chrome would still be a problem as they need to download from the net but all others would be fine.

Posté: 07 Juillet 2010, 10:10P.S> I know I can MANUALLY go to the LiberKey web site and go to the correct page and download the update but I would love the choice in the LiberKey updater to just download for offline use.

Vagabond in a french message has described procedures for save the update files : http://www.liberkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3130&start=10#p21597.
Normally when you're updating your key the .lks files are in the folder : C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\lbkData.
When the update is finished, the updater remove these files.
But you can edit LiberKeyTools\LKAppsVCheck\lkAppsVCheck.xml and change the line :
Now when the update is done you can choose don't erase the .lks files with the yes button.
Save the files where you want and then you can use them for update other liberkeys.
Another way is modify the file where the .lks are saved.
For it open LiberKeyTools\LKConfig.xml : and add in the update section the download path for the file like this (ex : F:\LiberKey_data) :
Save the modification and then launch the manual update process.
The update files must be saved in the new folder.

edit by JP4U:
In the folder where the .lks files are saved, you have a .lal file. This file list the latest updates and, if files association are active (KeyFileAssoc is running) with a double click on it, you can update a liberkey.

Can;'t wait for the final of 5, the beta is just great and has always worked.

The tricks shown above no longer work with the latest version of LiberKey. The changed download folder still has files deleted from it and the <KillTempFolder>ask</KillTempFolder> doesn't work any more.
I don't want to lose the downloaded files, what can I do?

Posté: 27 Février 2014, 22:14Good evening.
It's very strange because on my computer these trick work fine with an updated liberkey.
Perhaps have you a problem in a configuration file.
To begin can you send us a copy of your Liberkey => LiberkeyTools=>Configuration=>Technical information and a copy of Liberkey\LiberKeyTools\LKAppsVCheck\lkAppsVCheck.xml.

Posté: 01 Mars 2014, 22:34As you have said, it's possible that Windows 8.1 stop a process.
Unfortunatly, for the moment, I don't have a PC with these version to test.
Hope Dji or someone else could help you.
