Updating a running service

[styxke]

Hi all,

First of all, some info:
We have developed an updating system for our company to automatically update our clients with the newest software. This is done by a .NET service that is running on the client.

Question:
How do I proceed best in getting the service to update itself?
Now I have a system in place (service calls external serviceupdater.exe to stop service/update it/start service).
Can someone help me/direct me to a good starting point?
Or is the implemented solution the way to go?

Thanks in advance!

I like the way you suggested. Im thinking of writing somethig similar for our updateing and restarting of a windows service and that is the same that I thought off.
