I'm trying to create a service that can update itself using .NET Core 3.1. I've tried running an installer I downloaded but later found out that Windows services don't interact with the desktop. It also doesn't run any executable or commands (creating a file).

I've researched and found posts from 10 years ago but none of the solutions that was offered worked.

Does anyone have a solution that works on Windows 10 and 8?

  • Did you try a task taht executes an update script? Or a shell service that dynamically loads the version? it IS possible - lots of systems do it, among them i.e. an "as service" aure devops build agent. – TomTom Mar 20 '20 at 16:25
  • @TomTom I haven't tried any of them; I'll give them a try. I was hoping to develop it within the same service. – unknownconster Mar 20 '20 at 16:51
  • Even if the linked question is old and some solutions may be out of date, the overall idea still applies, so you can get some value out of it. – poke Mar 21 '20 at 13:26
  • I was able to create an auto updater by making a scheduled task. – unknownconster Mar 31 '20 at 14:05
