Hello,
I would like to automate the installation of the Kiwi Syslog Server as a service and have a few questions:
1. I only want to install the Kiwi Syslog Server if the version about to be installed is a newer release of Kiwi Syslog Server. To get the current version of Kiwi Syslog Server installed , Windows registry under "SolarWinds\Syslogd\Options\Current Version" contains the current version. (ex "9.2.1"). Is this the best/robust method?
2. Assuming that I only have the file name of a possible newer version of Kiwi Syslog Server (ex. "Kiwi_Syslog_Server_9.2.1.setup"), is it safe to parse the file name and extract the version, in this case "9.2.1"?
3. Can a newer version of Kiwi Syslog Server be installed without uninstalling the older version? What is a good method for preserving settings over Kiwi Syslog Server installations?
Thank you!
Dave
