Our company makes wyBuild: http://wyday.com/wybuild/ . It comes in 3 parts (wyBuild, wyUpdate, and the AutomaticUpdater control). wyBuild makes the tiny update patches, wyUpdate is the open source updater (BSD licensed) and the AutomaticUpdater control is the open source control that adds the ability for fully automatic updates (LGPL Licensed).

Here are the links to the source code, for those interested:

wyUpdate: http://wyday.com/wyupdate/

AutomaticUpdater: http://code.google.com/p/automatic-updater/ (instructions: http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/automatic-updates/ )

Just a quick note: your update icon looks a lot like Mozilla Sync: http://mozillalabs.com/sync/

It might be that you came up with this icon independently but anyway it's better to change it.

Terrific product otherwise. I'll try to convince people at our company to tale a look at it. We currently have our own AutoUpdate implementation but it downloads the whole .msi files.
