Re: [Wrapper-user] Wrapper question

[Christian M. <chr...@ta...>]

Lars,

If you are running your application from the user context/session on
windows and try to launch the Wrapper in order to interact with the
Service (for e.g. start/stop the service) then the Wrapper will
request elevation, if the process doesn't have appropriate privileges
yet.
It doesn't matter if the Wrapper was launched from console or through
the JVM by Runtime.exec(). I only would suggest you call waitFor() on
the process once launched since the Wrapper will pause as long as the
User has granted/denied elevation to the Process.

It's currently not possible to call the service update from the
WrapperManager API (this is what I think you meant). If you want to
update the service without reinstalling it, you would have to create a
process for the Wrapper with that option from inside your application
with Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder, or the WrapperManager.exec().

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,
Christian
