How does wyUpdate handle machine restarts?

Hi,

we have an app that currently is a .net 4.0 app.We're looking to update it to 4.7, and we're planning to bundle a framework updater with one of our app updates.

We know that we can ask wyUpdate to run an exe (e.g. framework installer) before starting the update process, but how does wyUpdate handle if that exe restarts the machine? Will wyUpdate be able to continue the app update process after restart?

Or would it be better to bundle the framework installer with a "fake" update, which contains no application update, just to run the framework installer?

Any other suggestions to make sure the customer's machine has .net framework 4.7?

Cheers

Hi again,

any chance of getting an answer?

No, as of the current version, it will start the update process over if the update is cancelled mid-installation.

You should just include the bootstrap installer (around 100ish KB) not the full framework.
