AVG7 - Update from Folder ?

[Stephane Hebert]

Hi,

Is there anyway for AVG7 to automatically update from a local or network
folder of my choice instead of the internet ?

I'm thinking of writing a small util that will get the updates, store them
at a central location on a LAN and have all AVG7 clients update from that
folder.

Thanks

Steph

I don't know about 7 but I was able to make a util to do something similar
with 6. I made a directory on my web server, sent all updates there, then
set all my machines to get the updates from my server. Maybe something
similar can work for you? At least it would help reduce load on Grisoft
servers.

I tried the network share thing. I put it on a drive, shared the folder,
mapped it to F: but it didn't fly. I added f: to the url.ini but it tries to
get the files from F:/blabla
so I guess that " / " goofed me up. :-(

Did you try a UNC path like \\myserver\myAVGupates instead of a mapped
drive ?

Yes, I get the same result. The error that indicates AVG believes you have
no internet connection. I'm assuming that it's the difference between a
forward and a back slash.

Good thought though,
