InstallAware v6 automatic updates

Yesterday I got a message from InstallAware about "automatic updates". I have 2 questions regarding this issue...

1. It asked for my password which I did not have handy at the time, so I did not enter it, and completed the "wizard". Now I want to enter the password, how do I get to the "automatic updates" configuration?

2. How does InstallAware manage this process? Is there some "service" or process that runs all the time and checks for updates as configured, or is there some other method that InstallAware uses for this feature?

Thanks,

Eric

Look under Porgrams>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks
I believe the password and user name you were being prompted for was what local user account that you want to use to run the Scheduled Task.

Jim,
Thanks. I thought it wanted my InstallAware UserId/Password, not my local system user account and password.

Thanks again,

Eric
