How to redistribute clickonce applications

Hi All,
We are currently developing a product using SCSF. The whole product is broken down into a set of dlls that represent various purchaseable modules from the vendor. Clients can purchase a subset of modules to be installed on their own site.
The vendor admin has an application where they can go in and configure the modules each client has purchased.

On the client side, there is another admin who configures users for their installation. (configure rights for each user when accessing the application)

We are thinking about a clickonce installation to avoid the hassles of a packaged MSI.

My questions are

1. I want to push udpates to the client's server from the vendor server whenever there are updates with respect to the modules that they have purchased.

2. From there, I want to push out the updates to all the users within their network.

How would I do it in an automated way?

Thanks
Raj

ClickOnce doesn't push updates, it pulls them. So you put the files on a server, and when they run their application, it checks for updates and installs them.

So if I'm understanding this, you have dll's and you want to provide them to a customer to provide them to a bunch of users via a ClickOnce application?

You would have to create the deployment, setting the urls for your customer, and have them put it on their server. Then when the users run the app, it will automatically pick up the updates.
