Uploading package before running step

I have the situation where I would like to upload the packages to the server before then stopping and service and copying the files to the directory.

Currently I have 3 steps

Stop Service
<upload occurs here takes upto 5 minutes>
Deploy Package
Start Service

I would like the upload to happen before it stops the service

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out! Our built-in windows services support already does that. Have you tried it already and found it doesn’t work the way you expect?

If it didn’t work the way you’d expect, would you mind letting us know why in more detail?

Regards,
