I think there is a bit of work needed to get the update 1.38 to 2.0
happen automatically.
If I understand correctly, you stop service, copy files, start service.
Which would work just perfectly for upgrades 1.38.x -> 1.38.y
and with slight path modifications it will work fine for 2.0.a -> 2.0.b
However it will not work for the upgrade from 1.38.x -> 2.0.a
Here's some steps what I think needs to be done
1. Stop Service
2. Delete Old Service (pointing to c:\bacula) probably need to delete
some registry keys
3. Move extracted files (.exe, .dll .txt ...) to correct folders
("ProgFiles\Bacula" and "Docs&Settins\AllUsers\AppData\bacula")
4. Move old .conf files to new folders
5. Create new service (pointing to new path) need to create new registry
keys
6. Start new service
7. Delete old c:\bacula directory (optional)
File movement is trivial, but how to create / delete services and modify
registry from CLI via rpc?
This is why I think there should be some switches in winbacula-2.0.exe
to help automate this task of clicking next, next, next, finish. All of
the user interaction stuff (clicking) could be automated.
Let me know what you think, I had crazy week (2 months actually), maybe
I am way off...
