I have googled over the internet and read some forums, but I could not find a really good solution to suit my requirements. I am looking for an automatic application update framework for my project.

Which do you think the best application update framework for .net?

Requirements:

• free
• easy to use and integrate with existing .net project
• check/download/install updates automatically from a server
• if it is needed, update also its referenced new dll-s from the server
• if new dll is referenced to the app, should be also downloadad automatically from the server
• if new items (e.g. XML files, language resource files) needed for a new version, also download them

UPDATE:

• installation folder must be changeable by the user (clickonce is not an option)

check this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/install/DDayUpdate_Part1.aspx out - it combines ClickOnce (Update machnism) + Windows installer (installation) to make possible what you are asking for...

Another (perhaps better?) option: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/DotNetAutoUpdateClient.aspx

Check out ClickOnce Deployment at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d(v=vs.80).aspx

It works really great. To use it, just open up the project properties in VS and go to the deploy tab.
