How to update Matlab in silient mode?

Hi,

I'm automating tests performed by TestStand suite on Windows which are using Matlab for code generation. One of first steps for release testing is Matlab update which is now done partly manually (need to click "Continue" and "Finish").

Is there possibility to run Matlab 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\RXXXXx\bin\win64\update_installer.exe' in silient mode? I mean without the need to manually click "Continue" and "Finish".

I've found that solution https://www.mathworks.com/help/install/ug/update-mathworks-software-on-offline-machine.html but I can't use it because I'm not license administrator and can't get these premissions.

Maybe you have another solution to install Matlab update automatically?

I would be very grateful for every suggestion from your side!

Hi Mariusz,

It is possible to install updates for MATLAB from a command-line environment. The process requires that the computer in which you hope to install updates into already has MATLAB installed, and that the MATLAB update installer be downloaded on the machine you wish to perform the update on. Note: before running the update installer on any machine, you need to ensure that there are no sessions of MATLAB running on the machine in question.

For commands specific to your MATLAB version and operating system, please refer to the below mentioned MATLAB answer:
