I would agree on the fact that the question is pretty much straight forward. I meant to tell that you have not even decided on an approach on how to go about it. But if the approach is what you wanted opinions on, then fair enough.

You mentioned that you wouldn't want to use COM in your original post, so you could try sockets? It does not look like a good idea if installation or some kind of 'push' activity happens from the server side. This design could be troublesome, as the client may not be ready all the time.

A better approach would be to make the client 'poll' for updates on a regular interval. If there is an update available, the client could request a download from the server, get it and do a ShellExecute() or something, as per the design to apply the latest updates.

This way, the user would get an option to specify when should the updates happen.

Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal - Friedrich Nietzsche
