If I have a DLL that's been updated within a function, and I just need to update it (the DLL) for a Windows Service - will it work by me, just copying the DLL and restarting the service? Or do I have to have to follow the InstallUtil process?

Thanks

Simply replacing the dll and restarting should work. However, you might need to stop the service first before replacing, because the dll is 'in use by another process'.
