What can USSU Unlimited do?
USSU Unlimited will scan your computer for installed software, checks the installed versions to the supported versions within the local/online catalog. it will then highlight the status according to: update needed, up-to-date, new version found or not installed. the user is fully in control.

Part from main version checker gui:




Tray mode:


Different menu options:


Main installer GUI:


Please feel free to check it out at http://www.ussu.eu

English 2.0.5.0

Dutch   2.0.5.0

- When USSU is started on system start-up it will notify the user with a 'click-able balloon' item to install all new updates at once. A default refresh interval of 2 hours is set for this balloon item(this will be editable in the next version, it will also disable java, flash etc update pop-ups).

- Improved the silent installations for the supported applications.

- Added a new in-program update feature for future use, to update USSU unlimited components.

Any portable version available?

@ UEZ

If there is enough enthusiasm i will look into a offline version. supporting USB.

The plan is to create a netwerk/client version next.

[Mechaflash]

I see you're doing each support for an application individually. I see this as a logistics nightmare some time down the line.

nice

[wakillon]

Looks interesting !

I suppose that WUInstall.exe is for Windows Updates...

What's the utility of USSU-EMAIL.exe ?

and debug-error-message.exe is AutoIt3.exe isn't it ?

[flappert87]

- Mechaflash

- indeed for now i am. down the line i want to read the version numbers directly form the developers websites..

- wakillon

USSU-email.exe is used to email the logfile to a email address the user specifies.

debug-error-message.exe is AutoIt3.exe indeed. it's used todo error handling on computers which dont have autoit installed. its able to give a proper error message if anything goes wrong

Ok.

why to each start it connect to checkip.dyndns.com or checkip-ams.dyndns.com

and what's wa5.rzone.de ?

It detect well my AV is up to date but didn't detect my winrar installation...

And French translation is good !

[flappert87]

i think that is because it's doing a check if there is a active internet connection. that's why you see the message. i am using:

Local $PublicIP = _GetIP()

if $PublicIP = -1 Then

MsgBox(16, "No internet connection found.", "Please make sure you have a working internet connection.")

Exit

Else

EndIf

perhaps that is making the connection...

- the winrar i need to take a look at.

- i checked the function from the inet.au3 include and it's listed below:

Func _GetIP()

Local $aReturn, $bRead, $sRead

$bRead = InetRead("http://checkip.dyndns.org/")

$sRead = BinaryToString($bRead)

$aReturn = StringRegExp($sRead, '(?s)(?i)<body>Current IP Address: (.*?)</body>', 3)

If @error = 0 Then

Return $aReturn[0]

EndIf

$bRead = InetRead("http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp") ; http://forum.whatismyip.com/f14/our-automation-rules-t241/

$sRead = BinaryToString($bRead)

If @error Then

Return SetError(1, 0, -1)

EndIf

Return $sRead

EndFunc ;==>_GetIP

the adresses you get from NOD32 are listed in the function.

Thank you for your clarifications.

I'm on Win7X64 and winrar is located to C:Program Files (x86)WinRARWinRAR.exe

I just caught something... I am afraid that Whatismyip.com has cracked down, yet again, on automation. The old URL for automation is no longer functional and new rules were created.

http://forum.whatismyip.com/f14/custom-automation-file-t1426/

I'm also going to report this to those who maintain the Inet UDF. ^.^

[BrewManNH]

You can use one of the functions that guinness has come up with in thread that should be able to replace that function.

Thanks for the tip. i will look into it for the next version

Hi flappert87

I like the prog. I wrote something which has the same purpose. There was a udf written by a member called storme. It downloads the latest stable (or beta whichever you set it too) selected program from file hippos site. The reason im menioning this is 2 fold. 1 even though the filename may change the udf still gets the most current and up to date version plus it has a flag to get just the version number so then you can compare to what you have found on the system. File hippo doesnt have every program you got listed in your app but it has the majority of common/popular ones at least. This should reuce the time you spend manually updating.

Your app reminds me of a diff app called patch my pc.

If you need any help let me know. Ill try to find the udfs link and post it

Hope this helps

G'day Flappert87

As has been mentioned there are a few (maybe many) updater programs around but yours looks like it's got most of the features that I've seen.

Adding the FileHippo UDF would help with a lot (Haven't looked through list) of the programs and avoids having a custom downloader for each one.

I haven't had any error ports/feature requests for ages so the code and the site are stable at the moment.

If you need any help with the UDF or with your program don't hesitate to PM me.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hi lgvlgv, i have had the same problem with the program running on systems with: AVG, and AVAST. somehow it detects autoit code as malicious. i have looked into this. only thing i could think of is having the .exe files signed by a proper code signing signature. that costs me like 160dollars to do.

hi Storm-E,

in the past i took a look at the FileHippo UDF... looks really good indeed. but until now i didn't find a good way to implement it into the current ussu unlimited version.

within the next few days i will pm you about the future plans with ussu unlimited. including a client / server version and a potential stand alone version.

maybe you can join me to optimise the ussu unlimited code and implement a part from the FileHippo UDF functionality. would be cool!
