Auto-Update advice

Hello,

I have an application written in C# for a piece of packaging machinery.
Basically, the application controls/monitors the packaging of parts.
It is a distributed application with a single UI computer which
communicates to between 1 and 5 worker computers each of which perform
some function.

Does anyone have advice on how to perform software updates on such a
system? Ideally, I'd like users to be able to just plug in a USB flash
drive and have the act of this drive being plugged in start an
automatic update on the UI computer and all of the worker computers.
The worker computers will not have USB ports readily available, so the
entire update needs to occur through the UI computer.

However, in some configurations, there will be only a worker computer,
and no UI computer. In these configurations we'll make the worker
computer's USB port available. I'd like to be able to plug in a flash
disk and have this computer do the update automatically also.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
