Well, I agree (and can confirm that administrators rarely want employees to update any program, and for good reasons). However, you could install the installer as an option, and if it's not installed TC opens the download page, like it is currently. This should make both sides happy, don't you think?

Just like TCMADM64.EXE runs elevated the installer could also be run elevated - in that way employes, who usualy don't have administrator rights cannot install the update.

This, in my opinion and definition, is more a "nice to have" than "need to have" feature... Really - how often do you need such a feature? It's not that we are overwhelmed by updates (apart from the beta's). Keep Total Commander clean, mean and sleek and don't add unnecessary code because we are too lazy. I for one love to be in total control of updates :)

That wouldn't work. Since TC can be installed by users, its installer does not ask for administrator privileges (and its manifest tells Windows to run it "asInvoker"). So the same would apply to an installer/updater installed alongside TC.

I agree on the "nice to have" part.

Olfert,

Well, you could still go to the homepage and download the full installation package by yourself, that wouldn't change.
