Hello,
when the autoupdater is installed as a service(for updates without elevation) , the service should check for updates automatically without implementing the update check in the app or without a scheduled task.

Re: Autoupdater as Service
Hi Gary,
If we would do that it would mean taking all the configuration liberty from you. Having available all the current options gives all of our users
the chance to customize their updates scenario as desired.
If you don't want to work too much on configuring it just enable the scheduled task, it will not take you more than one minute to configure it.
As it says in our tutorial for configuring the updater as a service, you must first configure it to run normally, without installing the service. And
only after you have checked it runs as expected you add the service.
Best regards,
Bogdan

Re: Autoupdater as Service
Hi Bogdan,
I wanted Updates without elevation so that users can run updates.
A scheduled task is not as easy: I have tried sevaral configurations. When I configure the task to run under a user account the user has to be locked on because I never know the password of the users. The option only run when the user is logged on is not possible because our client software is used from different persons on one computer( callcenter) . When I use a system or group account the updater will not start. (testet on W2k8 R2)
So maybe we implement it in the clients or leave the Autoupdate feature in our release because I run in another problem.
I will open a new post in "common problems" because the updates will not run as a normal user without elevation. I even tried with the foo.txt example which I found in another post, but always admin is needed.
Regards
Gary

I only thought of another option like /serviceAutocheck which could be set on the services page right after /runservice and not limiting the normal options.If we would do that it would mean taking all the configuration liberty from you.
