Picasa 3
For Limited user accounts, this setting causes it to prompt the user, asking if they want to update.
The automatic update feature can be turned off using Tools → Options → General → Automatic Updates → Don't check for updatesor you can add the following lines after the setup-tag:<source lang="xml"> <install cmd='cmd /c %windir%\regedit.exe /s %YourPicasaPath%\PicasaAutoUpdateOff.reg'/> <upgrade cmd='cmd /c %windir%\regedit.exe /s %YourPicasaPath%\PicasaAutoUpdateOff.reg'/></source>
I don't know how this setting where PicasaAutoUpdateOff.reg is saved in the registry, so that it might be turned off with a scriptfollowing Registry File:<source lang="reg">Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2\Preferences]
"AutoUpgradeCheck"=dword:00000000
"AutoUpgradeAsk"=dword:00000000
</source>
Because its stored in HKCU you may need to do this for every user.
