Removing the Pharos AutoUpdater from installed Popup Clients

Question:

How do I stop the Pharos Automatic Updater from running if it's already been installed?

Environment:

Uniprint 9.0 and greater Popup Client


Solution:

Browse to the C:\Program Files\PharosSystems\Core directory, and open the CTsMstr.exe.config file. The file should contain these lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <tasks>
  <task>PharosSystems.AppTrackerTask</task><task>PharosSystems.NotifyTask</task><task>PharosSystems.UpdaterTask</task></tasks>
</configuration>

You need to remove the TAG that contains that <Task> with the UpdaterTask in it like below.

<task>PharosSystems.UpdaterTask</task>

Save the file, and restart the ComTaskMaster service on the client machine.
