beyondcompare

Compare files and folders using simple, powerful commands that focus on the differences you're interested in and ignore those you're not. Merge changes, synchronize files, and generate reports. Directly access FTP sites, media devices, WebDAV resources, svn repositories and cloud storage. Beyond Compare includes built-in comparison viewers for a variety of data types. In addition to text, compare tables, images, binary files, registry hives, and much more. ### Major version upgrades Each major version of Beyond Compare for Windows will install separately on your computer. This means that if you have version 4 installed, and you install version 5, the new installation will not overwrite any of your version 4 files or settings. ### Package Specific The install script by default will detect which localized version of Beyond Compare to install. Use the package parameters to alter this behavior. #### Package Parameters The following package parameter can be set: * `/LCID:nnn` - Use this specific LCID (instead of trying to automatically detect it). Check `chocolateyInstall.ps1` for valid LCID values. * `/CurrentUser` - Install for the current user only (default is for all users). * `/LicenseFile:path` - Path to a Beyond Compare license key file. The file will be temporarily copied as `BC5Key.txt` alongside the installer, which causes Beyond Compare to automatically register during silent installation. This enables network/enterprise deployments. See [Network Installation](https://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_netsetup) for details. Example: `/LicenseFile:"C:\licenses\BC5Key.txt"` To pass parameters, use `--params "''"` (e.g. `choco install packageID [other options] --params="'/ITEM:value /ITEM2:value2 /FLAG_BOOLEAN'"`). To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set `choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades`.
