Unattended upgrade install

Post by dan-j »

I'm trying to script an update to VNC across a few hundred machines that have a couple different older versions installed. I know we have 1.2.2.3 and 1.1.9.6, possibly others. My hope is to push out an install via PowerShell to each machine that will upgrade what is already installed, install as a service, apply the settings (INI), and just work. So far I've got it to install, but it doesn't automatically stop the old service and start the new. Is that possible without a restart?

You can add this to the install .bat:

Code: Select all

net stop uvnc_service
Replace files

Code: Select all

net start uvnc_service
This is how the upgrade is done in the Inno Setup Installer.
