The .exe (and script) had a switch '/upgrade'  well designed for this usage ...

(A VERY BAD way is to remove and install new agent due the risk of change deviceid !!)

NO, I write my own script WITH /upgrade ...

(There is NO standard script, you need to create your own script !)

I think that the upgrade of the agent must be simple and well documented

You don't understand there is a problem of (windows) service when you upgrade changing the .exe file providing service, so that is the reason of switch '/upgrade'.

Write your own scripts of installation and/or upgrade is an efficiant way when managing hundreds of PC ...
