API Question - Checking for and installing newer versions of Add-in's at SW start

I would like to create a macro that checks the version of various
Add-ins that we have deployed, and then updates the add-in if a newer
version is available.

Can someone tell me the execution order as SW loads? Would I be able to
run a macro prior to the Add-In dll's loading? Has anyone else
attempted this?

Would using the Task Scheduler with an external program be a better
solution?

TIA,
Eric

 

Which add-ins are you going to check for? It will have to be a
program, as the only way to fire off a macro is by placing the toggle
after sldworks.exe in your shortcut and having the macro run each time
SolidWorks is ran.

Task scheduler would not be a good solution for this, just setup a
policy to run the program at startup.
