How to make Update Framework not restart App after the update?

[raffaelvitor]

Hi!

I use two apps:

App 1 = Monitor the App 2, restart when needed, etc..

App 2 = Make the things happen...

The App 1 is a Native App (.exe) to be able to control the other App/Process 2.

The App 2 is a .air file to be able to be auto-updated.

So, today I can control App 2 from App 1, start, exit the process, etc.

But when occurs an auto-update in App 2, is the Update Framework that starts App 2, so App 1 is unable to control App 2 since it was not the one that started the App / Process.

So, the possible solution is to make the Update Framework to not restart the App 2 when the update is done. But, how make it? The custom UI does not have this option I think, is there a way to do this? Or is there another way to update the App 2 without this Update framework?

Thanks a lot.

The way is to move from AIR file to captive runtime.
