UpdateHelper

  • Print

This software bundle allows users of AutoPlay Media Studio and TrueUpdate the execution of privileged operations, even if the AutoPlay application or update client is not running with the "Require administrator" setting. With the aid of this software, composed by an actions plugin and a matching Windows service, programs running as invoker are able to perform changes in the system registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) and replace files in folders that are under the control of the UAC (User Account Control), like Program Files, for example, without triggering any security prompts, annoying the end user.

An AutoPlay application can communicate with the Windows service and provide visual feedback, while the service excutes privileged tasks in the background. This is useful if you want to access folders protected by the UAC or change machine wide registry keys, or execute tasks that are typical for anti-malware or cleanup products, while still running the AutoPlay application "as invoker".

An update client does not need to request elevation before running, and can be executed as the logged user, not showing any UAC warnings before checking if a newer version of a software product is available. Using the "as invoker" setting, the developer can perform silent update checks, yet he can execute privileged operations when the need arises, by safely communicating with a Windows service over an encrypted channel.
