Simple Chromium Updater (chrupd.cmd)

Self executable PowerShell script to auto update Chromium for Windows

---

Latest version: 20211002 (CHANGES.md)

---

This script uses the feed from https://chromium.woolyss.com to download and install the latest Chromium version, if a newer version is available.

When you run the script it does the following:

• by default it'll get the Chromium "stable" 64-bit Installer by "Hibbiki"
• verifies SHA1/MD5 hash and runs installer
• chrupd auto updates itself

Options can be set in script or by using command line arguments.

Download and run chrupd.cmd or read below for more details.

Configuration

Make sure the combination of editor and channel is correct. You can also use chrupd.cmd -list. For more information about versions check chromium.woolyss.com, it's feed and chromium.org.

Editor	Channel
Marmaduke	stable, dev
Marmaduke - Ungoogled	stable
RobRich	dev
The Chromium Authors - Official	dev
ThumbApps	dev
Hibbiki	stable, dev

( defaults in bold )

• using -editor Ungoogled still works (now done by Marmaduke)
• for the builds from chromium.org use Official
• some editors release archive files instead of installers, more info: docs/Archives.md

Scheduled Task

To make sure Chromium is automatically updated to the latest version you can optionally add a Scheduled Task by using chrupd.cmd -crTask. A VBS wrapper will be written to chrupd.vbs which is used to hide it's window. Option noVbs disables the wrapper, this will however cause a flashing window when the task runs. Specifed settings for 'editor', 'channel' and 'channel' are used to run the script every day.

Updating Script

The script auto updates itself (since v20210109).

To manually update to a newer script version just replace "chrupd.cmd". Copy "editor" and "channel" if set. If you have Scheduled Task setup you do not need to change the task.

File Formats

For easy execution this PowerShell script is embedded in a Batch .CMD file, which can be renamed to .PS1.

See docs/Formats.md for details.
