Webupdate proxy server window

[NewsArchive]

Anyone know how to avoid displaying the proxy server window in WinUpdate?
(I have users that are constantly flummoxed by this window!)

I assume you mean the "Web Update" dialog with the "I access the Internet
with a Proxy Server" checkbox in wupdate.exe. See "Read Proxy Server Info
File..." script function. You can modify the wupdate.sb7 (e.g. remove that
dialog) and then read the proxy information from a file (if the users are
connected through a Proxy Server). Then use this customized wupdate.exe
instead of the standard client. BTW, don't forget to code-sign your own
wupdate.exe with your code-sign certificate!

HTH,

As an additional note: wucheck.exe (Web Update Check Client) lets you check
for (and download) web updates from applications running elevated or
non-elevated on UAC-aware Windows operating systems.

It does not request administrator execution level privileges if it checks
for updates. And it does not display the "Web Update" dialog (with the "I
access the Internet with a Proxy Server" checkbox).
