Update a WindowsMobile application on the device

Asked by 1902software in Windows MobileProgramming, Pocket PC Other, Windows Mobile (Pocket PC / Win CE) Operating Systems

Tags: Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 6, WindowsMobile, executable, update, software, download, ftp

We have a C# based application (EXE) installed on several Windows Mobile 5/6 devices which may have update releases every month or so.  Here are my question parameters:

-  the devices all have internet connections (either via ActiveSync or GSM connections)
-  the devices can currently browse internet via their browsers
-  we are AVOIDING having to develop a small applet to download EXE updates ourselves
-  the mobile application to be updated will be closed (unused) during the update
-  we can supply a secure FTP containing the EXE update file and version text file if needed

Now for the question:  Is there an off-the-shelf application that we can purchase to facilitate automatic download (updates) and replacement of the existing mobile application's EXE on the handheld device?   If there is, does it download from FTP or HTTP?  What's it's URL?
