Auto update without closing Outlook? Ramesh 6/21/2007 12:55:00 PM I have an addin developed using VC++. I am planning to create an agent that is going to check for updates and do an automatic update of this addin. The question I have is: can the automatic update be done without closing outlook? If Outlook is open when the agent tries to update, what can I do? Has anyone else done it and please share the idea with me? The main idea is that the update has to be completely automatic without any user intervention and I can't use ClickOnce or the new VSTO technologies. Thanks
