Pratik,

What I do is force the user out of the program so the update won't be
attempting to overwrite file(s) that are in use. Then at the conclusion of
the update I launch the program from wupdate.

Not an answer to your question, but something to think about.

Hi Pratik.

Three things jump to mind..

1. Minimize your EXE before running wupdate.exe, then restore your EXE
afterward.

2. With some API calls you can search for the wupdate.exe window and force
it to the front of the screen.

3. Ask Friedrich if he'll change wupdate.exe (the script is included with
SB, I haven't looked at it in a while though) to always stay on top.

Best Regards,

Gary.

Pratik,

In your case, wupdate.exe tries to come to the foreground but "something"
does not allow it (your application steels focus, Windows seels focus,
etc.).

What happens if you select "Check for Updates" from the SetupBuilder IDE?
It should be in the foreground.

If you cannot "fix" it in your application, you can compile your own
wupdate.exe (open the Loop Wizard properties and enable the Always On Top
option).

HTH,
