I'd very much like to see an easy way of updating the clients, say by having OneClick auto-check for a later build on each startup (and offer to download and update for the client). Naturally, the update location would need to be set, in a similar way to the web-based helpdesk.txt file.
There is a program named WebStart in the OneClick folder that you should use for this. It downloads the latest version from the website and runs it to ensure the customer allways has the latest version.

WebStart
-------------------
Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Advantig Corporation, ALL Rights are Reserved.
This program Downloads and executes a file from a website without using
a web browser. The target program is downloaded and executed from the
user's temporary folder. The WebStart.exe file can be placed anywhere on
the local hard drive or network share and is typically run from an icon
on the user's desktop as a shortcut but can also be executed by a 3rd
party program, batch or script file.
It is used to run programs directly from a website instead of saving them
to disk or having to load a web browser. It tries 3 times to download the
file before notifying the user of a problem.
This allows your frequent customers the convenience of running the customer
module from a desktop icon or while ensuring they are always running the
most current version of your customer module.
For security and to prevent abuse, the user is presented with a Yes/No prompt
that shows the location and name of the file that will be downloaded and
cautioned against running files from an un-trusted source.
Usage WebStart.exe <webfilename>
Examples:
WebStart.exe
http://www.dualdesk.com/RemoteAssit.exe
WebStart.exe
http://123.456.789.0/RemoteAssist.exe
If you run the file with no command line options, it will display a dialog
box for you to enter the URL of the program to run on the web and then it
will create a shortcut on the user's desktop named "WebStart Run From Web" with the URL you supplied. You may rename or move it if you wish.
