Hi "M." > i found out how to install xampp silently, would you please share it with us, creating a corresponding page at wpkg.org? Thanx. > but does anybody know how to update, i.e. how to check the version? Reading that: http://www.apachefriends.org/de/xampp-windows.html#1106 I don't think that upgrading automatically is a good idea. There's a file \xampp\xampp-changes.txt with the version of xampp in the first line, perhaps you could extract it from there or just use the date of that file for checking. Best regards, Falko |
