My App will be initially deployed with Windows Installer.
The key characteristics of the solution I am looking for include:
Support silent update while app is
running (or automatically restart
client)
Easy to maintain and manage packing
process
Avoid complex customizations or
installation scripts
Do you have any ideas on how can I achieve this? Even if it means to modify the app code to support any idea.
Application is .net 2.0
Have you considered using ClickOnce for deployment? It has a facility to programatically check for updates and optionally force them to be installed – see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404263.aspx
