→Installing from the command line
* The user account used to perform the update '''MUST''' have the appropriate permissions (e.g. Full Control on Windows, write, read, and execute on Linux and Mac OS X, etc.) on the application's installation directory that is being updated and on the '''outside''' directory defined below.
* If you are updating an application on Windows Vista or greater with UAC enabled then you may need to launch cmd.exe with "Run as administrator" (available in the context menu when right clicking cmd.exe) as well.
* Paths containing spaces passed to the updater '''MUST''' be quoted (e.g. "C:\Program Files\temp"). If you quote a path to a directory and include the trailing \ you must escape the \ with a \ so the " isn't escaped (e.g. "C:\Program Files\temp\\").
* To use a partial mar file you '''MUST''' be updating the build it was created from (e.g. for Firefox firefox-3.5.6-3.5.7.partial.mar can only update Firefox 3.5.6).
* Windows does not always expand environment variables that represent paths so if you have problems using environment variables switch to using paths.
