So I have been looking around for a way to have a window form application (c#) check for an update each time it's launched and even send a message to an active user that an update is required. This entire program will be ran in a S:\ (shared) folder. I know some one else recommend click once but everything I can find in it is from Visual Studio 2005 and well that's out dated. Anybody know a different one?

1Isn't click once built in to VS 2013? I'm pretty sure that's one of the **Publish** feature options. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d(v=vs.120).aspx – S. Adam Nissley Apr 09 '15 at 00:10

You could give this a try https://simpldeploy.com
It's a bit different to squirrel, it's integrated into VS and does not require scripting altough it can be automated with the simplDeploy.packager.exe found in the extensions install dir.
