Friedrich,

Just thinking out loud here. I'd like to do something along this sequence:

1) Make an install that registers an OCX (I know how to do this).
2) When the install runs, installs as a service (2008 Server) and starts it.
3) Check for an update at least once a day and if there, downloads it with no user
interaction. Unconditional.
4) Stops the program, stops the service, removes it.
5) Runs the web update.
6) Checks the OCX version and if newer registers it (think I know how to do this
too <g>).
7) Installs the service and starts it.

So the running service in essence downloads an update, runs the update which stops
and uninstalls the service and then re-install, re-starts. All unattended. Have
any references or examples along these lines?
