Update Dotnet is a simple utility to check for updates and silently install updates with minimal user interaction.
Disclaimers, Notes, and other important information
To make this work you need some resources:
-
A Web-Host, and a basic understanding of FTP, and file editing.
-
Some HTML/JS knowledge
-
Some sort of .NET language knowledge, C#/VB
Things to keep in mind:
-
Users will still need to interact some, as the update will require a relaunch to apply the update.
-
You will still need some sort of installer, third party solution, incompatible with ClickOnce or similar technologies.
-
Reccomended to use newer framework than with your application.

Features
As of right now, this project is a WIP, I have it released in one of my browser projects, LightBrowse, but it needs optomised before released as a reusable solution.
-
Updates with a version cap. Good for licensed upgrades/limited updates.
-
Updates with no version cap, good for open source, apps that update often.
More coming soon.
