| Thank you for your help! It seems a bit complicated to mess with...and it
| seems to be oriented to updating windows...
|
| I think that the best idea is to write an app/service that will act like the
| Updater and runs the same way...sort of like "Run and shutdown" and not
| "Install Updates and shutdown"...
|
| I believe this is not the newsgroup to ask this then...
|
| but, if any of you by any chance, have a link to details on how the auto
| update works when system is shutting I would appreciate...If I understood
| how the auto update is created to act upon system shutting down, I could
| mock the behavior on my own app.
|
| Thanks
