Abstract
Methods and apparatus for client-based monitoring of remote servers for computer program component updates. A client process periodically downloads meta-information to determine whether any update is available for any program application that has registered with the monitoring process. The client process maintains a local database of information about registered applications. If an update is available, the application to which the update relates can cause the update to be downloaded and installed. Each participating application may use a common, shared, self-updating component to interact with the updating process.
