Is there an open source project that allows for an auto-update of windows binaries? The Luau update library is very similar to what I'm looking for but it was abandoned in 2005.

There was a discussion here with some options http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37030/how-to-best-implement-software-updates-on-windows
In particual this http://winsparkle.org/ which I keep meaning to look at !

A:
There are two things I belive the Windows platform seriously lacks. One: A secured password store, and this
A central API to allow applications to register themselves so I dont get twenty million effing icons in my system tray as applications, that doubtless DO need to be updated, but also, are used very rarely, tell me how much bandwidth they've wasted downloading yet-another needless update.
