How to check if restart is required after Prepare?

[zam...@gmail.com]

After doing Prepare() is there a way to check if restart is required *before* attempting to ApplyUpdates()?

Not currently, no, although this should be easy to add

However, not that even if you get "false", ApplyUpdates() may still require a restart - for example if FileUpdateTask fails it will mark itself as requiring a cold update

Yes I am experiencing this right now....

In case of Windows Service or batch console app, I don't want to restart so I specify howswap=true.

However, the running app cannot hotswap while running to FileUpdateTask "switches" to cold update, Environment.Exit(0) happens ...

While that is acceptable for console app, it causes errors with Windows Service (which needs to be stopped and then started)....

What we can do is define a exit Action, which by default will be Environment.Exit(0), which you can override to provide your own logic. Would that help?
