Are you calling ForceCheckForUpdate() at the start of your app? If so, stop doing that. Let the AutomaticUpdater check for updates -- that's what it does.
AutomaticUpdater CheckingFailed
I am seeing a couple of sporadic issues in the field with my service based updater running as Local System. For most users, updates are working just fine.
A subset of users is seeing the CheckingFailed event fired with the following info -Error_message - wyUpdate failed to start.Error_title - wyUpdate exited prematurely
I also see a subset of users with the ClosingAborted event fired.
Again, this is a service running as Local System, so there should be no user interaction nor permissions issues with updates. Any thoughts as to what is causing either/both of these issues?
At the end of the service startup method as well as an hourly timer, I have -
if (_updater.UpdateStepOn == UpdateStepOn.Nothing) { _updater.ForceCheckForUpdate(); }
How else can I tell the AutomaticUpdater in my windows service to check hourly? This appears to be the suggested method, based on the help page at http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/automatic-updates/windows-services-console-apps.php
The only thing I can think of that would do that is something external killing wyUpdate (for instance, and anti-virus). Make sure you only use our versions of wyUpdate.exe (we can't support or verify modified versions of wyUpdate).
For more help we'll need a way to reproduce this.
