LukasHello,
I am new to the Automatic Updater and i want to build a Service that controls the Update for other Programms.
The Idea is that the service install the update because only the service got the admin-rights to do that. The service communicate with an Windows-Forms-Application via Pipes to give the user information about the installationprogress.
Can that be done via the Silent-update? Some advise would be great to push me in the right direction to implement this in my service 🙂
Kind regards,
Lukas
Hey Lukas,

Yes.
You can download the AutomaticUpdater source code and included in there is a "dummy" Windows Service. You can use that as a starting point. Then just add some named pipes functionality and you're set to go.
