App Update Framework
-
Any know of a framework for updating apps? It must meet the following requirements: 1. The system must be controllable from the server side. 2. The system must allow for mandatory updates (stopping the user from using it until updated). 3. The system must allow Line2 to set a grace period for updates (allowing a given amount of time or usage before the update becomes mandatory). 4. The system must allow for optional updates. I have looked at NetSparkle and Windows.Squirrel, and the both don't seem to have any way to force the update. They allow you to check for and trigger an update, but it's not enforced. One option we're considering is placing a manifest file on the server, downloading that first, then determining the update type based off that.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

Not sure what that is supposed to mean. Actually pushing from the server would be possible but only in all of the following is true 1. The client has an addressable IP. From the internet that means a public IP address. 2. The client must be running. So certainly one can never go on vacation and leave the computer off. 3. The client must be on the network. So no taking the computer somewhere with no coverage. 4. The client has software installed and running which is expecting that push request. All of the above is why the client requests updates from a server rather than the other way around.

This is needs to be supported by the client software which should check with the server and then take the appropriate action, I doubt there is a framework for your client. The server should certainly maintain the state for each client ie. optional, non financial.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity - RAH I'm old. I know stuff - JSOP
