UpdateShield Builder Console

Besides the standard interface, UpdateShield Builder is also available in the console mode, or called a command line program that does not use the Windows graphical user interface. An advantage of the console mode is that you can include UpdateShield Builder as one of the stages in the build process. Therefore, you can automatically create all index files, as well as the Online Installer.

Usage

To run UpdateShield Builder in the console mode, you must first create a project file to be passed as an input parameter. The project file can be created by running UpdateShield Builder in the standard GUI mode.
