More information is needed. Are you stopping the process from closing? If so, fix that problem. wyUpdate doesn't "kill" the processes, it closes them (there's a distinction -- namely, it give your process the ability to save files and close cleanly).
WyUpdate fails to stop process
When wyupdate.exe is called by my program, it runs well and eventually instructs me that the updated program needs to be stopped to enable me to finish the update. Clicking OK however doesn't succeed in stopping the program and I eventually need to cancel the update.
I read elsewhere in a reply to a similar question that states "Closing processes will still be shown if any exe in the folder wyUpdate is sitting in is still running.".
There are several programs in my folder that have nothing to do with Wyupdater.exe and I assume the above statement is not totally correct. At least I hope so.
I assume wyupdater.exe searches for a process with the same name as the targeted program and then sends a terminate process message to the process manager. Can I also assume then the reason wyupdater.exe "fails" to close the process then it is an issue with my targeted program and not wyupdater.exe.
My programming is at fault. 😮

I assumed that as I specified in the autoupdater settings a specifically renamed client.wyc file for each service/program that resides in my solutions directory, then wyupdater.exe wouldn't touch or otherwise concern itself with their existence. This doesn't seem to be the case...
I have two services running from the same directory. Using the AutoUpdater, it seems that I need to close both of them in order to only update one of them as the updates are failing with the error message "1 processes are running <processName>". The two services have no reference to each other and are not dependent on either/other.
I don't want or need to close one of the services as it is used by other applications - notably the website.
Is there any way to "isolate" wyupdate and have separate client files so that I can have several application files in the same directory updated independently? Is there a workaround?
