Self-Update App with GAC

We've developed a VS2005 C# solution that requires assemblies be
installed in the GAC on the client machine.

Here are the following goals:
1. Remotely install this application, registering the assemblies in
the GAC
2. Have the application be self-updating

I've read discovered "Click-once" is not an option. I've also
read .NET Application Updater Component (http://windowsclient.net/
articles//appupdater.aspx ) Has anyone worked with this and would it
solve the GAC issue?

Any point in the right direction would be helpful.

Thanks!

The Updater Application Block works hand to hand with Windows Installer, so
if you package your installation into a .msi/.msp, there will be no problems
with GAC or anything else. .
In fact, any kind of installing and patching should go thru standard Windows
Installer.
By using WI you get a lot of happy sysadmins and users.

Just a curiosity, what you mean with "Remotely install"? Sounds scary.

Thanks for your reply.

By "Remotely Install" I mean I do not want to go to each WorkStation
and install the MSI since there are a fairly large number of users
that are going to use this application. If I package the install into
an MSI, Is there a way to push it from the server to particular
WorkStations?

I'd like to subclass int to support list access, treating the integer as if it were a list of bits. Assigning bits to particular indices involves changing the value of the integer itself, but changing 'self' obviously just alters the value of that local variable. Is there some way for me to change the value of the BitSequence object itself? I've also tried wrapping and delegating using __getattr__, but I couldn't figure out how to handle...

First of all, please don't flame me immediately. I did browse archives and didn't see any solution to my problem. Assume I want to add a method to an object at runtime. Yes, to an object, not a class - because changing a class would have global effects and I want to alter a particular object only. The following approach fails: class kla: x = 1

The Python FAQ 1.4.5 gives 3 reasons for explicit self (condensed version): 1. Instance variables can be easily distinguished from local variables. 2. A method from a particular class can be called as baseclass.methodname(self, <argument list>). 3. No need for declarations to disambiguate assignments to local/instance variables.

Is there any trick to get rid of having to type the annoying, character-eating "self." prefix everywhere in a class? Sometimes I avoid OO just not to deal with its verbosity. In fact, I try to use Ruby anywhere speed is not crucial especially for @ prefix is better- looking than self. But things grow -- is there any metaprogramming tricks or whatnot we can throw on the self? Cheers,
