I have a working JNLP application which I need to distribute to various non-technical end users. If the user's machine has a recent JVM installed, everything is fine. They just double-click the JNLP file I send them and Java Web Start does the rest. Now I would like to distribute something that works with or without a JVM, e.g. a .exe...
To provide application updates in Windows, we can simply download the installer and run it. Applications are installed in %PROGRAMFILES% and shortcuts are placed in various places. Keys and values are added to the registry to provide an entry in the system's Programs list. To provide application updates in Linux, we can use the system's...
We have a variety of devices for testing purposes, and now that Froyo is being pushed (to the Nexus One so far at least), we have to constantly dismiss upgrade requests. There is no apparent "stop asking me" button. So, is there any way I can disable OTA OS updates? We want a number of these phones to stay on old OS versions. ...

I have written a Java app and an NSIS installer. Works great. The issue is when there is a new version, the full installer needs to be downloaded and run (and possibly the old version uninstalled first).

I'm trying to create an auto-updating app using Winforms. I can't use click-once or the updater block because the app needs to run on Mono also. Once I download the new exe file from a webservice, is it possible to unlock the running exe file, replace it, and restart the app? ...
I have a client/server application and I'm looking for some advice about how to handle the interface between the two.
