Hey Anton, The UpdateService and ScreenSaverExec projects were in disrepair even when I migrated the CVS to SVN. Keep in mind that a lot of the stuff in the SVN was just leftover artifacts from the CVS. I tried to clean a lot of it up, but missed some things.
>From what I could tell, the original intent of the UpdateService was to have a 2nd Windows service installed alongside Alchemi that would periodically check for updates to Alchemi and automatically install them. It looks like just a feature that never fully got implemented. The ScreenSaverExec project has been abandoned as well. It was an Executor container that ran as a screen saver but development was stopped in lieu of the non-dedicated executor application. Funny thing though, because from my tests I think that the screen saver executor is a lot less intrusive than the non-dedicated executor and would work much better. I'm not sure of the reasoning why the project went that direction. The ManagerServiceController project is Jonathan's addition and was only recently committed. Hope that helps, -Matt On 9/3/07, Anton Melser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > Just wanted to know what the situation is with the > ManagerServiceController, UpdateService and ScreenSaverExec?.
