Force update in install4j application

Question

I'm developing an install4j application for Windows and Linux. I use the updater with silent version check to check for new versions on each launch of the application. The issue is that if the user presses cancel on any step of the update process the application starts. I don't want the user to be able to use the application at all without first updating. Can this be done in install4j?

Answer 1

Installer applications have a "Default execution mode" property. For the updater application, you can set it to "Unattended mode with progress dialog". In that case, the user cannot cancel anything.
