1. Using Updater Block
   
• This step-by-step guide could save me a lot of time and be sure to read the 'Addendum' section under step 8 to know how and when Updater Block kicks in.
• Though this guide gives a quick introduction, I followed the sample code, 'SimpleAppStart', accompanied with the Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater.
• Here is how I use the block. Main program calls System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() to pass control to the updater program. In the updater program, Singleton is enforced via Mutex object before update process begins. After the process is over, the updater program calls System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() again to pass control back to main program.
