Strange issue with Windows 8

Hello.

I have developed a customized updater using your automatic updater. It run as administrator and passes a key to wyupdate.exe through wyUpdateCommandline. If the key is registered in the server, it allows updating.

this.automaticUpdater1.wyUpdateCommandline=key;this.automaticUpdater1.UpdateType=wyday.Controls.UpdateType.Automatic;this.automaticUpdater1.ForceCheckForUpdate();

It is working ok in Windows XP and Windows 7, but it is not working in Windows 8 (FailedToDownload error).

After debugging I can see that wyupdate.exe is not receiving the data passed through wyUpdateCommandline.

Please, can you help me?

Well, commandline options always must be properly quoted, so the code you used may or may not work. Also, don't call ForceCheckForUpdate(). Just set the DaysBetweenChecks property and let the AutomaticUpdater handle it.

Hello again.

Above all, thanks for your response.Despite of this, it's not working. It's properly quoted and works in Windows 7 and Windows Xp, but not working in Windows 8. Seems that there is no communication between the customized updater and wyupdate.exe.After hours of debugging it worked for a while when I regenerated the guid of the automatic updater control. Does it has any sense?

Thanks in advance.David.

A lot more information is needed. What exactly you're passing to wyUpdate commandline for starters. Also, the full error is needed.
