Updating Maya or checking for updates through script

[Benjam901]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was a way to check for updates in Maya through script?

For example if I was to boot Maya and there was an update service pack available I would want to prompt the user and open the application manager so they can install, or in a perfect world run the updating for them.

I have had a dig around on the web and have not been able to find much info on this topic.

If anyone has any solid info on this I would be very grateful

Cheers,

Ben

You should look into using a software deployment system, in order to manage all program installations/updates - not just Maya. Where I work, we use PdqDeploy (Windows) to keep all software up to date on 100+ machines. There are lots of equivalent software for Max and Linux
