I have multiple window services [1] that need to be deployed at each
customer location[2] to support a SaaS application.

 

[1] dependent on .NET 4.0 client profile and MSMQ

[2] customer location run XP Professional 

 

 

Eventually, at each location I need to

.         update the existing deployed application

.         grow more packages/window services (we are adding new modules
which may require new window services)

 

Is there an existing open source system that does this for .NET
applications?

What are some off the shelf commercial systems < $2,000 USD?

 

>From high level view I will need:

1)      autoupdate window service to poll a version file

a.        on change from current version

                                                              i.
download msi

                                                            ii.      execute
msi on different process (it may need to update the auto update window
service itself)

2)      newly downloaded msi 

a.       Internally contains installer per window service

                                                              i.      On new
install

1.       Install dependencies

2.       Install service

                                                            ii.      On
update

1.       Uninstall self

2.       Reinstall new version and any NEW dependencies.

 

 

 

When doing research I found,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648668.aspx,

But it seems to  have been discontinued.

 

What is the recommended practices in building a system like this today?

 

 

 

Thanks,
