For the first option, ok, if you say so. But for the second option - maybe it can be avoided, i.e. limiting ourselves to doing things which Windows does not trigger UAC for. > > * Have our installer request privilege escalation, and install some kind of > > updater service (yes, I know, ugh) > > > > I'm pretty sure that at least the last one of those is possible... > > > > That is *exactly* what our update.exe "service" provides.

No, I don't believe that. all of the services running in the background surely do a lot of otherwise-UAC-triggering work, and the user isn't getting UAC prompts. So I am guessing that update.exe is _not_ such a service - and that it probably could be. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
