Me and kricker have been working on a little app for the past few weekends and its finally to the point that's ready to be tested.
it basically downloads the latest 3rd party build and updates your local installation. with option to do the update without any user intervention.
right now it doesn't have any scheduling built it, but i have designed it to be fully compatible with windows scheduler, (I personally have it setup under windows scheduler).
anyway, i have made the code available under GPLv2 License (Opensource) so feel free to dig in.
I would really appropriate any feedback or problem reports.
--Updated to version 0.7.9
Added: Extended Version-Info
Added: Prevent standby during update is running
Some prep work for the upcoming release to enable parital update
Code cleanup all around
--Updated to version 0.7.7
.Automatically updates itself.
.doesn't overwrite keymap.xml.

Feature Request
Bug report
Windows Vista Users: If you have XBMC installed in C:\Program Files\ or other system protected folders in order for XBMCUpdate to be able to update those folders it would need to be started with Administrator privileges. To start XBMCUpdate under Administrator privileges manually, right click on XBMCUpdate icon and click on "Run as Administrator".
If you have XBMCUpdate setup in windows scheduler, make sure you have the option "Run with highest privileges checked".
Need volunteers to start writing some sample document and how-to guides. if you are interested please pm me
