Filezilla 3.42.0 cannot disable check for update

[Lucille]

Dears, recently I got Filezilla 3.42.0 exe file from customer and I need to package it as msi file. After I captured and compiled it, I found that 'check for update' appeared every time when I start the program. I have tried to modified fzdefaults.xml.example, but it doesn't work. I also found filezilla.xml would be replaced every time started the program. May I know how to disable 'Updates' when I package msi file?

Thanks in advance!

That can be done through defaults.xml, which is described in defaults.xml.example

Note that this only applies to checking for updates, not displaying information of known updates the program has already learned about.

Do you mean change defaults as <Setting name="Disable update check">1</Setting>? I add changed xml into msi and install; 'check for updates' still appears.

Any detailed steps you would like to share to me? Thanks.

Applying that setting and placing the file as fzdefaults.xml into the program directory of FileZilla should remove the UI elements and not check for further updates. However, as @botg already wrote, FileZilla will continue to offer the update it found before you disabled the check. Found updates are stored in the configuration files.

Thank you boco! And how can I find configuration file and edit it, since I have got msi file?

It's stored in filezilla.xml, wherever that file is on your machines. Normal installations have it in the %APPDATA%\FileZilla configuration directory. No idea about MSI.

Oh, I have modified this file and put it in the directory folder previously. however, I find it will be updated every time I start the program...so, are there any mistakes I made?

[botg]

Yes, why disable updates? They are a good thing.

If the fzdefaults.xml is correctly in place, the update settings and Help - Check for updates... will not be shown anymore. If they still show, you did something wrong.
