Automatic Update Framework/Engine

Question

I am developing a client Application(.NET) that should be able to update itself automatically. The application will be deployed using a Simple WiX/MSI Installer.

What i need is:

• Check server for File versions/hashes/dates
• Download newer Files
• update files & relaunch application.

Are there any suitable Frameworks/Patterns to archive this?

I found/tried the following:

• ClickOnce (does not fit our needs as it is not able to install the application machine wide in the first term)
• wyUpdate seems to be discontinued
• ClickThrought seems to be discontinued
• Google Omaha looks way to complicated for what i try to achive.

Are there any active developed and reliable solutions for this (They do not need to be free nor OpenSource)?

At least these two seem active and easy to use.
