Is there a way to auto-update my app? I need to deploy an app using
SMS - I can't use ClickOnce - and I'd like to be able to make it check
for updates and download and install them automatically. There used
to be an Application Updater block for 1.1 but I can't find anything
for 2.0 or later.
 
You'll have to do custom code for this.

If anyone else is looking, here are a bunch of references I found.
The first two are definitely worth a look:
