System.ArgumentException at nUpdate.UpdateInstaller.Updater.CopyDirectoryRecursively()

See original GitHub issue

If i try to make an update with an application that run as service i get the following exception :

System.ArgumentException: Der Pfad darf keine leere Zeichenfolge sein oder nur aus Leerzeichen bestehen.
   bei System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path)
   bei nUpdate.UpdateInstaller.Updater.CopyDirectoryRecursively(String sourceDirName, String destDirName)

while debugging or if running as normal ui application, the exception doesnt occurs

any ideas ?

i think i found it

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory)

this is not possible as service, because a service has no desktop 😉 so the return path is empty

Hi,

I am still trying to figure this out. It seems there is no executable path property in a service application. But I have not yet managed to create a working service that I am able to debug. Sorry for that. I will check that out on Sunday.

Best, Dominic
