Active Update
Active Update is an eSupport technology that utilizes the update clients on the
local system to deliver the desired packages on the Web without any user
interaction. Active Update queries the available update clients and uses the
updated client to install the desired package. Active Update will launch
ThinkVantage System Update or Software Installer on the system.
To determine if the Active Update Launcher is installed, check for the existence of
the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Thinkvantage\ActiveUpdate
To determine if the registry is configured to allow Active Update, the
ThinkVantage Technology program should check within its own registry key for
the value of the EnableActiveUpdate attribute. If EnableActiveUpdate=1, the
ThinkVantage Technology program should add the Active Update menu item
under the Help menu.
To call Active Update, the calling ThinkVantage Technology program should
launch the Active Update Launcher program and pass a parameter file. (See the
Active Update Parameter File for a description of the parameter file).
