library for self updating WPF app

Question

Looking for an existing library to self update a wpf prism app silently, the plugins are easily updated but the main .exe typically installed in ~program files~ requires elevated permissions which can be addressed by launching a updater .exe with higher permissions

Found some very old questions similar to this

• Auto-update library for .NET?
• Self-Updating .NET client application which needs to write in the Program File folder
• How to elevate privileges only when required?

Hoping there's some package which takes care of the little details before rolling out my own

Answer 1

Shimmer provides an Auto-Update mechanism.

Other options:

• ClickOnce
• NAppUpdate
• AutoUpdaterDotNet
