Hi,

I have developed a windows application for one of my clients.Now i want to send the updates of the latest versions to the user and auto update them when ever a latest version is available.I have read about microsft auto updater application block,but i could not get a complete idea about it.can any one plz help me in this case.i will describe in short what i have understood abt the auto updater and also my application.

1)My application is like this....my client is a petroleum company and they go for oilwell drillings somewhere in the middle of the sea for quite some time.While they go for the onsite job they download the offline pack ofmy online application and when they return they login to the network and export all the data collected in to the server.Now i wan to give auto updates to this offline pack and when user logs-in i need to install the latest version automatically.....It is simple...sending updates to a windows application.

2) Does the auto updater application block suit my requirement?? It asks to install the updater application first but the updater application needs .Net framework 1.1 it says.Does that mean my application must be developed in 1.1???

3) And also the enterprise library....do i need to integrate my application with this or is it just a sample application.

4) Please guide me in this issue and any new ideas are welcome.

Thank u

Have you considered trying ClickOnce?

You can deploy your application on a CD, a network file path, orto a webserver, and when it can connect, have it update to the most current version.

It's much easier than using the application block stuff.
