* The service will execute the update with updater.exe under the context of its own session (session 0) using CreateProcess.
* The path of updater.exe will be that is run is from a copy of the updater.exefrom the installation directory being updated.
* The post update process (helper.exe) currently does i) system level stuff, and ii) user level stuff. This component will be executed twice. The system level stuff will also be executed under session 0 using CreateProcess. The user level stuff will be executed by the unelevated updater.exe with its own session ID.
* The service stops itself when it is done the operation.
