Update Service
The SBTengine installer installs a service that allows unprivileged users to install SBTengine updates. Before installing updates, this service verifies the authenticity of the downloaded update as we now only distribute software signed with our Code Signing certificate. This ensures that the downloaded update has not been tampered with somewhere along the way and that the updates do indeed originate from us.
The update service is an optional component of SBTengine that can be left out during installation. Administrators who do not want users to be able to install updates must make sure that the update service does not get installed by choosing the custom setup type in step 5 of the Installation Guide. Automatic updates will still work but the user performing the update must be able to elevate to administrator privileges to do so.
Information for system administrators:
The service can be started and stopped by executing the following statements in a command line with administrator privileges:
net start GenDxUpdateService
net stop GenDxUpdateService
