Deployment/Server Installations?


C# Windows application.

I have a windows app. Currently I have used 2 methods of deploying this:

1. Create a windows installer, and deploy this to be run on each machine
that needs the application.
2. Create a folder structure with the .exe in them, and ship these
directories onto each PC.

Is there a way of automating this process from the server? By that I mean
could the application when run, check a central server for any newer version
of the application?

Thanks

Have a look at the Updater Application Block.

Google for it for lots of info and how it's used.
