From version 1.3 of Cert_Updater an additional function has been implemented, which will allow in the future,
if the servers of MS have problems with the download of the "sst" files, nevertheless the root certificates can be updated.
If updates for Cert_Updater are available, they will be announced in the forum with a screen shot of Cert_Updater.
Now there is another possibility to download the current "sst" files which correspond to the screenshot.
For this the image (CertUpd.jpg) of the screen print must be loaded into the same directory of Cert_Updater, or
in the same directory of Cert_Updater a text file with the name "Cert_Updater.txt" where the corresponding
link to the image of the screen printout is inserted.

Note:
This only works for my announcements in the forum!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From version 1.4, when an outdated sst file is downloaded, it is now checked for actuality. In this case,
up to 30 download attempts are carried out, where the intervals between the attempts become larger in time.
For this function, in the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cert_Updater",
the creation date of the most recently downloaded sst files is stored.
Furthermore Cert_Updater can now be executed with the parameter -aia or /aia without confirmation.
It is important to pay attention to small and capital letters.

Available parameters for starting the program

 -aia or /aia for starts without confirmation
 -aib or /aib for starts without confirmation and Program end automatically in 5 seconds    
 -aic or /aic for starts silent with logfile                                              (Program end automatically)
 -aid or /aid for starts silent with logfile and 40 download attempts                     (Program end automatically)

(Logfile can be found under %windir%\CertUpd.log)
