Hi,

I'd like to resurrect the topic of checking for updates, especially
programmaticaly and especially for .NET applications.

ClickThrough promises this tasty feature, though I see mostly the
server part that generates RSS items. ClickThrough command-line
interface looks fine for accessing FeedBuilder extension.
I also see some client code in source tree, in \ambient\appsynup,
though in C++ only.

What I wish is to have client-side .NET API that would check for
updated MSI/MSP and notify if a new version is available, and surely
be able to download (probably via BITS) and install it as MSI and/or
MSP.
Maybe this can be done calling update.exe? But I see only interface to
get AppId, not to check for updates and not to schedule download.

Do I need to implement updates from RSS or is there a ready code?


I know about ApplicationUpdater2 application block from
EnterpriseLibrary, but it seems unsupported and somewhat more complex,
so would like to try out WiX first.

Thank you.
