Platform command line arguments?

Are there any command line arguments for the Portable Apps Platform? I'm looking to have my apps update behind the scenes. I could use AutoHotkey to handle the GUI, but I thought check first to see if there was a more efficient method.

Not Right Now

The updater is designed to be used with the platform and only supports silently checking for updates in conjunction with it (ie platform running). Though the updater is a separate EXE now, it will eventually be part of the platform's EXE as it is running. So, you will need to fire up the platform to make use of the updater. As it can be set to automatically check for updates on launch, you just need to launch it to check for updates.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I'm just wondering about the technical aspects of that. NSIS code in a Delphi application? How would you go about doing that?

Rewritten

Basically, rewriting it in Delphi. Already made some progress on it. Opens up a lot of avenues in terms of the GUI.
