Hello,

I have written a windows service in .NET which i want update. Is there an
easy way to let a windows service update itself?
I've written some test programs with the AppUpdater component and this is
working perfect for 'normal' programs but can't be used for services. Maybe
it's possible to write some modifications to the AppUpdater component to
find the latest version and manually start the service??
Anybody aware of some methods to automatically update a service?

Thanks in advance!

Eric
 
You would have to fire up an external program which could:
1) Stop the service
2) Un-Install the service
3) Download the new service
4) Install the new service
5) Start the new service
