Is there an open source project that allows for an auto-update of windows binaries? The Luau update library is very similar to what I'm looking for but it was abandoned in 2005.

Create the original install package After adding the files to the package it is time to add the auto-update functionality. Switch to the Updater by selecting it in the left-side panel. Check “Check for updates using Advanced Updater”. The “updater.exe” file will be automatically added in your application directory.
Windows Update can only run in the background after signing in. If you want to leave your PC updating, you can simply sign in then just lock your PC.
I was wondering the same thing and I took a look at Omaha but it requires so many prerequisites (WiX, Python2.4, Scons etc..) that it frightened me away.
All I wanted was something simple so I also tried out WinSparkle and it is incredibly simple compared to Omaha, I definitely recommend it! One further note about WinSparkle: If you using Visual C++ WinForms you can simply link in the lib just like in their native C++ setup explanation.

Google Omaha . But I have not tried it and don't know how easy it is to use.
