Question : Restarting a WPF application to apply updates

Hi All,

I have used Updater block v2.0 to perform updates on my WPF application following the link mentioned below.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/vanillaupdaterblock.aspx

I have succesfully implemented the solution but now I need to add a new feature i.e when updates have been downloaded, user will be prompted a messagebox to restart the application to apply updates. If user selects Restart Now then application is closed and restarted again with the updates.

I tried to use Application.Current.ShutDown() followed by Process.Start(..app path..) but the issue is application starts before the updates are applied.

In short, this is what I want:
1. Shutdown the application
2. Apply the updates - (done by process "Wait For Exit" in Application Updater Block)
3. Restart the application

Thx!

Answer : Restarting a WPF application to apply updates

What I would do is write another app which starts up your "main app"

so then - when user clicks reset app the app must create a new process which basically looks for the app in the processes list. As soon as the app sees the process is no there then it can start it up again.
