Adding automaticUpdater to a VSTO project

I have a word vsto 2007 project. The project has the usual 'ThisAddin.cs' class, a OfficeRibbon control , a usercontrol that is added to the 'CustomTaskPanes' collection (both of which will get loaded initially) and some popup forms. I would like to use AutomaticUpdater but I do not know how to add it to this project.

If i try to add it to the usercontrol I get an error ...null reference at wyDay.Controls.AutomaticUpdater.set_ContainerForm(Form value)

I do not seem to be able to addit to the OfficeRibbon as it is not of the correct type.

Is there a way to be able to add the AutomaticUpdater control?

The AutomaticUpdater has to be added to a form. If you don't have any forms then either use the AutomaticUpdaterBackend class (see here) or wyUpdate as a standalone updater/
