wyUpdate.exe command line - problem witch /fromservice

Hello 🙂

I have problem with command line wyUpdate application. When I try use /fromservice parammeter it does not work.wyUpdate run with UI setup.

I run wyUpdate in such a way:

wyUpdate.exe -updatepath="my path to updates" /fromservice

Only use the /fromservice commandline switch if you're running wyUpdate from a Windows Service. Bad things will happen if you use it elsewhere.

Hello Wyatt,

could you be a bit more specific at what could happen? Worked fine in our tests from an normal App.?

Well, /fromservice skips a lot of tests because if you're running it as designed (that is, from a "LocalSystem" service) then the tests aren't necessary.

Running wyUpdate with /fromservice via a regular old GUI app won't make wyUpdate magically install silently without prompts. It doesn't work like that. wyUpdate still has to follow the security design of Windows (it can't "steal" elevation from whole cloth, it needs to be give it -- among other things).

In that case, what can I do that when updating the application does not show the "setup"?

Any suggestions ?

Quite a few: How can I completely hide the updater (wyUpdate)?
