Hi,
I was wondering if there are any other good solutions to auto-updating winforms applications out there. I can not use ClickOnce as I need to register COM components, need access to all system ressources, etc.
Anyone knows of a good solution
Thanks,
Tom

You don't need to register COM dlls in ClickOnce Deployment. ClickOnce has a great Registry Free COM interop support built in.. Look at the article by Dave Templin
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/04/RegFreeCOM/
The article considers a VB6 COM DLL in the example.. but same can be applied to any COM dll.
If you have other reasons why you can not use ClickOnce deployment please post me. we can advice you with mitigations/work arounds to those problems

I wrote my own updater now and it works pretty nicely.
