New Update UCheck: Software Update Checker & Installer

[Tigzy]

But my question was, why not, is it to much work to implement such a feature as Unchecky has?

It's really the same, it's just that we don't assure you that it works on 100% installers.
Unchecky is the same, they just don't tell you.

Unchecky is the same, they just don't tell you.

But that neither you or Unchecky can asure anyone 100% safety is a given for anyone who understands a little about this matter and that is why i wonder about your method, your alternative way. It seems cumbersome. You still have not answered my question fully as to why this method instead of a much simpler one. Hence my question: Why not all? A question that got even more valid based on your answer above. If it is the same, why not all, which it could be with the Unchecky method. Now you have limited the programs usage with this way, and therefore potential buyers/donators.

Anyway, uninstallers leave a lot of leftovers so with a really good uninstaller that monitors i think your program will be interesting for a broader public. It would also then be able to uninstall, FULLY, a "slip by" of an ad-ware, for later manual installation of the same.

Good luck!

I agree with you Kyle.

To bad neither program can monitor programs that has no version info in the .exe file

SUMo does in some cases. Check it out and let me know in the dedicated thread if you miss a popular software in your SUMo list

 

[Kyle_Katarn]

Wow SUMo has better support that is for sure! Sorry.

Thanks ! (but Ucheck team does a good job too )

Version 4.1.0 available
Anti-PUP protection is now much faster and robust ! You can also launch any installer under PUP protection (not all installers supported though)
Also the cache is now user friendly and can be used to create an installer copy anywhere.

From @Tigzy at Wilders:

Ok, I've received dozens of messages, here, there, on our support ticketing system and forum. That's great, really, I'm very happy with all the feedback.
However, It's really overwhelming

Yes we will try to support software X, Y, Z. We will, but not now.
Currently the priority is 2 things:

- Build a "Community feedback" system. It will collect software list from all the clients (having the feature enabled, it will be by default...) and send it to us.
This will create a supported (limited) list of software, with current version. This list will be then served back to the clients to find MORE SOFTWARE (ideally ALL of them) and tell if there's a newer version.
So I'm pretty confident all your X,Y,Z software will be in this list, and have limited-support by UCheck once this is deployed. The name of the software doesn't matter at this stage.

- Then. This community feedback list will obviously have more entries for the most popular software.
We will (internally) use this list as a TODO list, and iterate through it top to bottom and add them for FULL-support (which means ability to update/install from UCheck).
That way we ensure we don't add them randomly (or on demand), and focus on the most seen software first.

Hope that answers most of the questions about UCheck not supporting X,Y,Z

So please, for now, refrain from asking to add new software to the compatibility list. It's not going to happen short term.

Portable software compatibility will come next, because it's way more complicated than installed ones.
Basically any folder can contain any type of file, and we cannot trust the clients when it comes to database feeding.

New portable beta version posted on Wilders:

Please dont' share this link as it's not officially supported outside of this thread.
Also it doesn't have all the fancy GDPR stuff below inside of it:

This version uploads your programs' list to our server (Program name, version, publisher). There's no way to turn it off (in this version).
So if you don't agree with this, please stick to the latest release build from the official channels.
Please do some scans to populate the database, and see if everything works properly.
After enough people have sent their list, and if enough people have the same software, those will be promoted and you will see them in "Gray" inside Installed tab.
If you version is outdated, you will also see an item into "Updates" tab.

I reported already a few issues at Wilders, so I will not copy/paste them again here, but I am glad that Tigzy stepped in when we needed a replacement.

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Yes, I think it is best to post the issues at Wilders

From @Tigzy at Wilders:

Sorry, I will take the time to read all of this tomorrow.
For now, I'm just dropping another BETA (same link): https://download.adlice.com/UCheck/Beta/UCheck64.exe

I've also wiped all production data for community feedback, so that we restart from fresh (too much garbage)
If it's good enough, next time I'll just clean the buggy lines one / one.

@Tigzy Thanks! Bill

This. Is. BETA. Release.
Actually, it's should even be called ALPHA rather than BETA. As I don't have all software of the world on my test machne, I need users' data to know what to do, what to fix. We are in this phase right now.

version 4.11.0.0 x64 free, i cant add .exe file ... ask dev add this feat.

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Currently the dev is working on a "Community feedback" system that will collect INSTALLED software list from all the clients.
So your exe will be in the list, the only exception is portable software.
Portable software is not a priority right now.
