We have several developers working on the same solutions. We are trying to make sure all developers have the same version of Infragistics at all times.
Is it possible to download the full update of a version and have each developer install from that instead of each installing from your website? I am afraid that we may end up on different versions inadvertently if we don't all update at the same time.
You can download the complete bundle from your my keys and downloads page which will already contain the installers for the platforms you want. Note that by default the option to install updates is checked so whenever the installer is run it will check the website for the latest service release. If you don't want to install the SR or keep a specific SR installer locally for your developers to install you could provide guidance to uncheck that box.
If you want a more centralized solution, you could look into doing unattended/silent installs on each developer machine through a script. The Silent Install: Infragistics Netadvantage 2014 Vol 1 thread may help you if you pursue this.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Great. Thanks. I'm not real clear on the installers though. I see a "Platform Installer", "Version Utility", and "VS Extension". Can you tell me which does/installs what?
Platform installer is a wrapper that can be used to install the individual products. This has a UI to select what to install and runs the individual installers. The version utility installer installs a utility that allows you to quickly update the Infragistics references in a project when you are looking to upgrade from one volume of Infragistics to another. The VS Extension installer installs our visual studio extension.
For using the product, you wouldn't need the Version Utility or the VS Extension and they are optional. The extension would also check for available service releases so if you don't want that to happen for individual developers you would either not want to install it or disable the option to check for updates.
Thanks again Alan. That is exactly what I was looking for.
