how to create an updater process #8229

more of a question about some guidance than an issue. i'm building and deploying per machine, but then the application is ran by non admin users which fails to install auto updates because users cannot enter admin password for the windows UAC. how would i go about writing a separate process that downloads and applies the .blockmap files. is there any documentation or can anyone help me with some ideas or pointers about this please?
