VLC silent upgrade

Postby lanamelach » 19 Mar 2019 14:18

Hello

It looks like VLC installer behaves differently when upgrading in silent mode. To be specific, I am trying to upgrade VLC 2.2.6 to 3.0.6 automatically by the installer of a custom application which uses libvlc for playing videos. On some machines this application crashes with the following error message: "The procedure entry point decode_URI could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\gui\libqt4_plugin.dll".

It has come to my notice that in GUI mode VLC 3.0.6 upgrades VLC 2.2.6, removing the problematic libqt4_plugin.dll. However, when I run it with "/S" command line switch, the .dll is left behind. I am wondering if it's a bug or I need some another switch to adjust this behavior?

That would be a bug. the silent upgrade should uninstall first.
