Install New Service

Hi guys,I've been using wyUpdate for a number of years now without any major problems, so first: thanks for this great piece of software 😀 !

I'm currently creating an update for one of my software projects that introduces a windows service. I would like this to be installed/registered by WyUpdate. How can this be done? The option to start a Windows Service that is included assumes the service is already installed.

Secondly, is there any way to have the service installed only when a file exists on the computer? Right now I'm handling this in the service itself, but it would be better if the service would not be installed if the file doesn't exist.

Thanks!Michel

You're welcome. 🙂

It depends on the type of service. If it's an exe then it has way to install it that is specific to that exe. So, if you created the exe you'd know how to install it. If it's from a 3rd party then you'd have to ask them how to install the service.

but it would be better if the service would not be installed if the file doesn't exist.

Well, you could do that detection within the service itself.
