AAT ABBY Kiosk v21.1

Friday October 31, 2025

Notes

Contains Update 7 and Activity 1
Contains modification to Sync Service which grants file access permissions to kioskUser0
Implements a new system restart strategy
Shuts down ABBY and installs pending updates before each scheduled reboot

Update Reporter (in UI folder) needs to be included in the XML provisionary script
When running will reside down in the system tray and await MSMQ messages from the Update Installer

The Restart Trigger scheduled task triggers the Restart Service which then performs the following tasks:

Sends a KillDisplay response to the Display.exe which instructs it to exit itself
Runs the Update Installer and sends progress events to the Update Reporter (in system tray)
- The Update Reporter locks the screen while displaying progress messages on the desktop
Applies updates to the Update Installer itself
Sends a task completed event to the Update Reporter
Proceeds with a system reboot

Note: The Update Reporter also provides a right-click context menu giving an Admin the ability to run the Update Installer by itself or force the entire Restart sequence to run
