titleNew Package Names

The “Push

A new package for silent upgrade Upgrade” package works as the “Upgrade” package did before.

The “Publish Upgrade” package doesn’t prompt the end-user to start the upgrade, but still shows a warning prompt, telling the end-user to close all their applications, etc.

A new “Force Upgrade” package has been added. The package doesn't prompt the end-user before starting the upgrade, and doesn’t show any warning prompts.

A new “Force Upgrade with Reboot” package has been added. The package is called “CapaWinUpgrade - Silent Upgrade”acts the same way as the “Force Upgrade” package, but also allows reboot(s) during the initial upgrade phase.

(info) The “Force Upgrade with Reboot” package could cause the service to lose control of the upgrade phases, and the installation screen might not function properly.
