wyBuild: Update Actions

Hello,

We have a situation where we would like to stop few windows services before applying the product update. we tried using the facility in wyBuild "Update Actions" and created separate actions for different services. However during this process we are not able to specify the order in which the services are to be stopped (order in which these update actions are to be sequenced). It chooses randomly and this creates problem for us.

Does anyone suggest a solution to this? _ Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,Sujith

If the order of the action cannot be fixed, how about run a bat before the update where you manually stops services (via sc.exe). If you do this you can specify the order of execution.

At the end of the upgrade another bat will starts the services, of course

Does this make sense?

We already tried this but the batch files seems to get executed only after the delta package is extracted. And the extraction itself fails since there are running processes in that folder (which need to be stopped/killed)

So, we get the following error The update failed to install. : 1 processes are running: (OurProcessName.exe).

What is the alternative for somehow stopping/killing OurProcessName.exe before the update is installed?

Ok, so you need to update the service too?Have you tried this way? http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/silent-update-windows-service.php
