Automatic Client Update

Starting from Client version 19.5.1 and onwards, you can automatically deploy software updates to client machines for Robot, Robot32, and Studio.

The procedure to deploy the update is simple. First, you download the updated files from the Nintex Updates Cloud. Then, you copy the files to their respective AutoUpdate destination folder (either Robot, Robot32 or Studio) on the RPA Server.

The deployment performs a silent install of the new version. No human intervention on the client machines is required.

The installation does not interfere if the robot is currently running a task. If a workstation is off, the update begins when it is restarted.

The automatic update mechanism handles more than one version at the same time. You can update client machines running different versions to the same new target version at one go.

How to automatically deploy software updates

Managing Versions

The files that you download and copy to initiate the update depends on the number of different versions running on your client machines.

If, for instance, all your machines are running on the same Robot version 19.1.2 and you want to update to version 19.5.8, you need to download these files:

  1. kryonrobot.19.5.2.to.19.5.8.wyu (the update file from 19.5.2 to 19.5.8)

  2. kryonrobot.all.to.19.5.8 (the version file)

  3. wyserver.kryonrobot.wys (the index file)

Now, say you also have some machines running Robot version 19.1.3, then, along with the files above you also need:

  1. kryonrobot.19.5.3.to.19.5.8.wyu (the update file from 19.5.3 to 19.5.8)

and so on.

  1. Based on the product you are upgrading (Robot, Robot32, Studio), download the Client-AutoUpdate files from the Nintex Updates Cloud as follows:

    1. The update file(s) for all the specific versions you require (for example, if some of your machines are running v19.5.2, others v19.5.3 and others v19.5.4, download kryonstudio.19.5.2.to.19.5.8.wyu, kryonstudio.19.5.3.to.19.5.8.wyu, and kryonstudio.19.5.4.to.19.5.8.wyu

    2. The product version file (for example, for Robot32, kryonrobot32.all.to.19.5.8)

    3. The product index file (for example, for Robot, wyserver.kryonrobot.wys)

  2. Copy the files to the appropriate folder based on the product:

    1. for Robot: C:\Kryon\AutoUpdate\Robot

    2. For Robot32: C:\Kryon\AutoUpdate\Robot32

    3. For Studio: C:\Kryon\AutoUpdate\Studio

That’s it. The update is all set!
