```
## Usage
### Quick Start (Double-Click)
Simply double-click `laragon-updater.bat` to run with default settings.
### PowerShell Commands
Open PowerShell as Administrator and navigate to `C:\laragon\bin`, then run:
```powershell
# Normal update (with confirmations)
.\laragon-updater.ps1
# Dry run - see what would be updated without downloading
.\laragon-updater.ps1 -DryRun
# Force update all tools (even if up-to-date)
.\laragon-updater.ps1 -Force
# Auto-close running processes without prompting
.\laragon-updater.ps1 -NoConfirm
# Skip VC++ Redistributable check
.\laragon-updater.ps1 -SkipVCRedist
# Combine multiple options
.\laragon-updater.ps1 -Force -NoConfirm -SkipVCRedist
```
### Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `-DryRun` | Show what would be updated without actually downloading |
| `-Force` | Force update even if version is current |
| `-NoConfirm` | Skip confirmation prompts for closing running processes |
| `-SkipVCRedist` | Skip VC++ Redistributable check and download |
## How It Works
1. **VC++ Check** - Verifies Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable is installed
2. **Laragon Status** - Checks if Laragon/MySQL/Apache are running
3. **Process Stop** - Offers to stop running services (or auto-stops with `-NoConfirm`)
4. **Version Check** - Compares installed version with latest available
5. **Download** - Fetches latest version from official sources
6. **Extract** - Extracts/installs to the appropriate Laragon `bin` subdirectory
7. **Alert** - Warns if any services are still running after update

## Troubleshooting
### "Access Denied" Errors
Run the script as Administrator (right-click → Run as Administrator).
### "VC++ Redistributable is NOT installed"
The script will offer to download and install it. Accept or install manually from:
[Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)
### Download Failures
- Check your internet connection
- Some sources may be temporarily unavailable
- Try running again later or download manually
### Extraction Failures
- Ensure no processes are using the tool files
- Close Laragon completely before updating
- Run with `-Force -NoConfirm` to override
### Version Detection Issues
Some tools may not detect versions correctly. Use `-Force` to re-download.
## Notes
- **Apache** updates use direct download links from ApacheLounge (VS18 builds)
- **PHP** downloads the Non-Thread-Safe (NTS) x64 version
- **MySQL** uses archived version 9.5.0 (latest stable)
- **Python** downloads the installer (manual installation may be required)
- **Composer** downloads the PHAR file directly
- Tools with **GitHub** source use the GitHub API for version detection
## Security
- All downloads are from official sources
- No data is collected or transmitted
- Script runs locally on your machine
- Review the script before running if concerned
