What are the options available to deploy a .NET desktop application built using WPF other than ClickOnce? Top priorities are should work over the wire (internet or intranet) updates management; options to check for software updates and automatic updates. patch management; download and update only those files which has changed.

Dot Net Auto Update I've implemented a library to do this called DotNetAutoUpdate (original name eh?). It aims to be: Simple to use Simple to setup Secure - see Auto update: Is this secure? It doesn't handle differential patches at the moment but perhaps in the future.
