Open Updater is a software distribution platform to aide developers in releasing software and its updates in a streamlined fashion. In much the same way as Steam, a user subscribes to a product and can install it with a click of a button. Learn more at www.OpenUpdater.com
Technical Overview
Open Updater has three parts. The first is the web application, written in ASP.Net MVC. This is where users register, login, and subscribe to programs. It is also where developers post updates. The second part is a Silverlight upload component to aide in the upload of updates. The third part is the client application written in Windows Forms that actually downloads and installs the updates using a custom package format. The fourth part ties both the Sliverlight and Windows Forms clients to the web application using WCF.
