Slient install

I have a requirement for deploying a package consisting of a couple of web sites and windows services to a couple hundred remote servers. There are two things that are currently prohibiting me from using wyUpdate and I'm wondering if you are planning on implementing these features and if so a time frame.

I need to be able to run the install in silent, automatic mode meaning that it periodically checks for updates and if one exists, download and install it.

The other is handling service stop and start. I read elsewhere that this is planned for 2.6.8. Any idea when that will be available?

Thanks

Hey David,

I need to be able to run the install in silent, automatic mode meaning that it periodically checks for updates and if one exists, download and install it.

This is already possible if you use the AutomaticUpdater control on a C# or VB.NET app. Or you can use silent checking if your not running a .NET app.

Of course if your user is not running in elevated mode on Vista / Windows 7 (or admin account on Windows 2000 / XP) then they will be prompted to elevate the wyUpdate process before the update can continue.

Is this what you're looking for? Or are you looking for absolutely no user interaction?

The other is handling service stop and start. I read elsewhere that this is planned for 2.6.8. Any idea when that will be available?

We'll be releasing wyBuild 2.6.7 next week with a number of minor bug fixes. wyBuild 2.6.8 is scheduled for around the end of the month.
