[NEW] Disable autoupdate on windows installer

[NEW] Allow setup to disable autoupdate

Closes #849

you can run the installer with the option "/disableAutoUpdates" to disable the update function in rocket.chat (like the windows App Store version)

/disableAutoUpdates does not seem to work for me on Windows 10, "Check updates on Start is still checked". Did uninstall and reinstall, same problem.

I have installed it on a W10 1809 VM over the existing 2.13.3 and it worked. No checkbox for updated.

I run the installer with: /S /allusers /disableAutoUpdates

EDIT: Tested on multiple PCs, same issue.

I'm facing the same problem, rocket.chat is still offering to check for updates. I tried several ways but all ended up the same:

Updated an existing 2.13.3

• Quit rocket.chat Client
• rocketchat-setup-2.14.0.exe /S /allusers /disableAutoUpdates
• Open rocket.chat Client
• AutoUpdate still enabled

Fresh installation

• Uninstalled 2.14.0
• Removed %appdata%\Rocket.Chat
• rocketchat-setup-2.14.0.exe /S /allusers /disableAutoUpdates
• Open rocket.chat Client
• AutoUpdate still enabled

It seems that the update.json file at %appdata%\Rocket.Chat is not created.

I created it manually with

{
	"canUpdate":false,
	"autoUpdate":false
}

and this removed the Update options in the about dialog.

I will check that, i think we need an other installer option to copy the settings to all users.

For single users it works like expected

[nexidus]

My command is without /allusers. Only /s /disableAutoUpdates
Maybe the /allusers command are the problem?

[HappyTobi]

I think so

Copying the settings to "all users" during install does not work in an enterprise deployment since it would only apply to existing users on the machine. The application should honor update.json in the installation directory like servers.json, overriding what may be found in %appdata%\Rocket.Chat.
