Hello Ole,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you mean Host or Agent?
In case if it's Host, you can simply update it using one of the methods described in this tutorial on updating Remote Utilities, i.e. if you'd prefer to use the Self-update method, then creating a new MSI file is not necessary.

In case if you meant Agent, then you can simply create a new Agent package following this tutorial.

Hope that helps.

Hi Polina

Sorry, I mean Agent!
Thanks. So every times I need update agent I have to make a new Agent package. Right?

Hello Ole,

Thank you for the clarification.

Yes, unfortunately, if you use Agent, then you need to build a custom Agent package in order to update its version. However, we plan to add a feature in our future updates that will allow saving MSI Configurator's settings that were previously used in order to make such updates easier.

Alternatively, if you use the default Agent, it's possible to just re-download the latest version from our download page.

Hope that helps.

Hi again

Then I will make a new MSI package that I must distribute to the customers who have the old one on their PC.

Thanks for your help!
