What's the best way for a .NET winforms application to update itself without using ClickOnce?

Question

For technical reasons, I can\'t use ClickOnce to auto-update my .NET application and its assemblies. What is the best way to handle auto-updating in .NET?

Answer 1

We have a product that's commercial/open source: wyBuild & wyUpdate. It has patching ability and is dead simple to use.

Edit: I'm getting voted down into the negative numbers, but my post wasn't just blatant selling. Our updater, wyUpdate, is open source, written in C# and is licensed under the BSD license.

I thought it might help anyone trying to build an updater from scratch using the .NET framework.

But, vote me down if you must.
