Eset Products latest versions info on ESET web pages/repos

[zhladik 0]

Hi all,

As Marcos mentioned in this forum  -  new version of  EES  just released. Because I wrote scripts for automated checking of new version I got alert about it but not via version page - https://support.eset.com/en/kb3040-check-for-the-latest-version-of-your-eset-business-products, but via hash checking alerts. There is till now still old version info. Binary URL is constant link to the latest binary https://download.eset.com/com/eset/apps/business/ees/windows/latest/ees_nt64.msi. I know about metadata file on https://repository.eset.com/ but it is complex binary/json mix with all ESET products including localized versions.

Is there any simpler way to get the latest version number  from ESET repos/sites?

Thanks                             Zdenek Hladik

Sorry for bad subforum - right one is "ESET Endpoint Products". But question is quite general... Remote managements handles repository versions Info, but parsing  metadata is not easy....

I for one don't know any other source of information about the latest version except the download page. You can contact your local ESET support but I assume these are the only ones.

But just again - there are new files few minutes now - 8.1.2031.0. No announcement - binary name without version from fixed url  and of course  sha checksums changes without warning. Only check of install binary signing helps to trust. I thing faster  (automated?) sync version number with kb3040 page will be nice. Thanks....

The KB will be updated soon. I, for one, don't know of any automated system how to get information about the latest version programmatically.
