Disabling the update check
Hi I have a software, that is actually checking for updates automatically, when the program is launched. Is there a way that we can disable the auto updates and check updates option in the help men. If so where can i find those?
Thanks a million for all the help.
Sid.

Answer Summary:
HKCU\software\altova\mapforce\liveupdate\settings, by changing the values here it would not really disable the updates, but would not allow the user to have an interactive message. Which would help when deploying it to a large evironment

The only thing I found was a registry entry that you may be able to put a fake lastchechedate in
look at HKCU\software\altova\mapforce\liveupdate\settings

there is also a registry entry under hklm and you also may be able to put that under those keys and it will read it for all users then, this is a hit and miss approach, some software conmbines both keysets from the hives some treat them seperatly so you will have to test it. - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago

check in %appData% folder if any sub-folder with the application name is present. If present, there might be some preference/configuration file present.
