Re: [Wrapper-user] Problem when updating Java and there is a program running as windows service.

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

Hello Giuliano,

I'm sorry for the confusion.

Since the service is still running while you run the update, I can assume
that Windows holds a file lock on several files, which can't be
deleted/updated by the Java Update. So it fails half-way.
I don't think that there is much we can do from our site to handle this
properly, since it would be rather the task of the updater to check if
there are any relevant Java processes running prior to the update. (Similar
to the update of Adobe's Flashplayer updates)

Usually if you are deploying an application you should also evaluate if it
makes sense for your application if you ship it with a own JVM, rather than
relying on the user to have a Java installed.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
