Registry Settings

WinSparkle’s behavior can be configured by tweaking its registry settings described in the table below (although it's always better to use the public API). They are stored in the Software\<VENDOR>\<APPNAME>\WinSparkle registry key (you can change the location using win_sparkle_set_registry_path). When reading the values, HKEY_CURRENT_USER root is tried first and then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, making it possible to change the defaults globally. Note that all values are of the REG_SZ type, no matter what their "logical" type is.

Available settings are:

key	C type	description
CheckForUpdates	bool	whether WinSparkle should check for updates
LastCheckTime	time_t
UpdateInterval	int	check interval in seconds (min 1 hour)

Additionally, the following settings are used internally:

key	C type	description
SkipThisVersion	string	if the user skipped an update, then the version to ignore is stored here (e.g. "1.4.3")
DidRunOnce	bool	was the app launched at least once already?
