Click Once Deployment is really old shool

I came across Carl Franklins utility program to deploy application updates via a “click-once” metaphore. It took me back to a project I worked on about 8 years ago using Access 2.0 That project proved to me what a good programmer can do even with limited resources. We literally built a state of the art MRP system used in the production of International Space Station with it. Luckily it had less than 50 users per location :)

Anyway, one of its features was an auto-updater that would check a version table on the network agains the local version of the application. If a newer version was found it would download it and install. So there it was. Click once…. 8 years ago.
