Not used to these problems so not sure where to look.

One, my wupdate program may be deleting my exe.. not sure.. but what it
doesn't do is stop, and wait to install my update.. it finds the update, but
just keeps going, so my program is still open.. and of course it can't get
updated because it's open.

Another thing, is the installer wants to reboot at the end of the install...
sometimes.

If you could just give me some tips on where to look I'd appreciate it...

Thanks,

If you don't want a "replace on reboot", you have to add functionality to
detect your running application (see "Detect Active Application..."
function).

If your application is locked, Windows will update your file(s) at next
system startup (standard Windows behavior). That's when you see the reboot
machine message thing.

If the reboot process deletes your .exe, see this:

Thanks, that explained a lot... it lead me to the right code, which is in my
update installer, I had copied from another update installer... and it was
looking for a different exe... I haven't tested it yet, but I'm pretty sure
that was the culprit.

Thanks again,
