>We are using the WinZip command line utility with WinZip 15.0. When this was installed on the DEV and Test server, we never had a situation where in the middle of a robot execution, such as a week later, that it would check across the wire for new updates. When that happens, on a weekly basis, it prompts a dialog on the window to ask if we want to check for updates. Of course, in production, this has to go. So, what could have been the factor that for the same installation on three servers, that two have been installed to never ask if we would like to check for updates and one would ask?
