Batch Script to Auto Update Sysinternals Tools

[Capt.Jack Sparrow]

While the Microsoft Sysinternals tools are incredibly powerful and useful, the one feature they lack is the ability to check for new versions. Currently, you have to periodically check the Sysinternals site and compare versions between your system and the most recent official release in order to stay up to date.
As a better solution, we have created a batch script which will automatically update the Sysinternals tools you have on your system. All you have to do is put the batch script file into the folder where your Sysinternals tools are located and the script does the rest, no configuration is needed.
Here is how it works:

• The current list of tools from Sysinternals is downloaded and compared to the files on your system.
• If a match is found, the current version from Sysinternals is copied to your system.
• If a tool is currently running, it is closed and then restarted once the script completes

I use the batch script, which is indeed very primitive but does work.

Thanks much, Captain. As Karl said, it is primitive; but it works well.

You know, we developed a pretty cool batch script on the Vista forum for diagnosing problems on the OP's computer. Wonder if they've done anything with it lately, and if it would have any utility here?

Hi guys, I have a question. It's re SysInternals, I'll make a new thread aswell (thought I'd drop a reply here as it's re the sysInternals apps)

I got .. 72 apps! Some have descriptions. I know this cause, when I go properties/mouseover, I get insights. I want to rename the shortcut files as %filedescription%.lnk. Can any of these tools do this?


In the meantime, trying to make my own.


Thanks!
