VLC Media Player - Disbale Check for Updates
Hello Everyone,
I have to deploy VLC Media Player 1.1.11 on whole environment. I have disabled "Privacy and Network Policies", but now also need to disable "Check for Updates" under Help menu.
I tried to find out the solution everywhere but could not find anything. Please help if anyone has done this.
Thanks,
Dinesh Kashyap

We did it a while ago , we took a setup capture of the exe.
Implemented the step mentioned by pjgeutjens and PackageExpert as follow:
i) Placed i guess the three files in %appdata%\vlc of all the existing user and default one too.
2) Created the shortcut as follow:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "--no-qt-privacy-ask" "--no-qt-updates-notif"

Thank you all for your response. I'm able to find the "Privacy and Network Policies" issue which comes only once when application is lunches first time. But I have to disbale/hide "Check For Updates" under Help menu aslo, so that no once can update the software manually.
Thanks,

Have you tried searching Vendor Forums?
I believe, this is what you are searching for http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=74163

If you can't find where that is stored, load up Process Monitor and make the change while doing a trace. There's a lot of stuff to dig through, but you'll find where the file/reg key with that change is stored.

As VBScab mention there is an entry in Package KB
"Start VLC witout privacy and update notification?"
1. download VLC as zip-file, unpack to a folder
2. create a msi with a shortcut
Use this shortcut description:
C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "--no-qt-privacy-ask" "--no-qt-updates-notif"
