AutomaticUpdater for WPF apps tutorial

In the tutorial it describes assigning the MenuItem property to a MenuItem selection.

What if I want to use a button to check for updates? I also want to have a checkbox that toggles Auto Update on/off. I would imagine setting the UpdateType of the control?

We install our application with a MSI file created from a Wix Installer project within our Solution in VS 2012. The MSI removes old versions and installs all the necessary files.

Can we just post new MSI files in myBuild instead of including all the files of the application? If so what folder should we use in the Files & Folders setup?

Yes.

Ok, then use a button. Of course you'd have to make the appropriate calls to the AutomaticUpdater (e.g. ForceCheckForUpdate()) from within the button.

Include your MSI in the "Temporary" folder and have it set to execute.
