At install time; is there a way to disable automatic update checking?

As an enterprise, we have a rigorous rollout mechanism which requires testing and other certifications before updates can be performed. We do not allow developers to update the IDE, so we want to disable the update checks by default at install time.

Alternatively; is there separate command line interface I can use post - install ?

Or lastly, a switch I can set in the launching .bat file ?

Place %CONFIG%\options\updates.xml file with the following:

<application>
 <component name="UpdatesConfigurable">
   <option name="CHECK_NEEDED" value="false" />
 </component>
</application>

Thanks Serge.

I noticed that the folder c:\users\Default\.IntelliJIdea2016.2\config\options\ already has a file like that, with that exact same content.
In my user specific folder C:\Users\xxxxxx\.IntelliJIdea2016.2\config\options\ , there is no overriding file - yet the IDE is still prompting about the 2016.3 update.

Any other suggestions?

This file has to be present for every user. IDE doesn't use the "Default" user folder.

OK, thanks. When I add the File to the user specific folder as suggested it works. Thanks for your help.

I guess I will need to include that copy as part of the application startup batch since I don't know at install time who the user on that workstation will be. Its not ideal, but will work.

Adding something like "ide.no.platform.update=IT Department" to bin/idea.properties file (and ensuring a user can't modify the installation) is probably the best way to prevent IDE updates (but not plugin updates) check.
