Distributing Windows Application updates

[bill]

What is a good way to distribute a new version of a Windows Forms
application over a LAN?

I guess the client needs to recognize that an update is available, and then
get it with a minimum of effort on the part of the user.

Thanks
Bill

Bill,

In my opinion is it it at this moment an own program which uses a webservice
who sents serialized zipped programs, however at the moment I would wait
because 2.0 has standard a so called click once deployment which does what
you ask for for. (I don't know if they have zipped the programs).
