Silently update library used by service

Hi

I just purchased two WyBuild licenses for our developers, but before we had a chance to take advantage of your amazing product we unfortunately ran into a issue.

We have a windows service that uses our own library. The library provides all the business logic used by the service and I want to provide silent automatic updates for this library. Is this possible with WyBuild?, our testing seams to show that its not as we run into the same issue described in this post https://wyday.com/forum/t/370/use-automaticupdater-in-windows-service/

If it's not currently possible, what's then the perspective on WyBuild 2.8, will this version makes such updates possible and will it ship in 2010 ?.

Yes we're trying to get this out before the end of 2010.

Are your products completely Windows Services? That is, there's no UI component that the end-user runs?

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply. Our service is installed as system and does security monitoring in regular intervals (scheduled with Quartz). For now it does not have any user controls as its configured remotely. The service uses a well defined interfaces exposed by our library and its this library I want to have silently upgraded so our customers always have the latest security definitions.

I would be happy to participate in any beta testing of 2.8 or even to hire you as a contractor to help us with this problem.

We normally don't take work as contractors (it complicates code ownership & IP). However, drop me a line at my email (wyatt@wyday.com) and I'll send you a beta of our wyUpdate that runs as a silent service and requires no user intervention.

We're planning to having a working beta by the end of November (hopefully sooner).

Hey Lars,

We now fully support silently updating services either with wyUpdate in standalone mode or, if your service is .NET, use the AutomaticUpdater in your service.
