Abstract
The automatic updating of an application or a driver on a client device is described. At least one deployment configuration file, including a deployment entry corresponding to a package for updating an application or a driver, is obtained at the client device. The deployment configuration file is stored on the client device in a memory location that is exempt from a write-filter restriction, wherein the write-filter restriction prohibits a file stored with the write-filter enabled from persisting across a reboot of the device. A check is performed to determine whether the deployment entry identifies an application or driver that is installed on the client device, and identifies a version of the application or driver that is higher than a version installed on the client device. The application or driver corresponding to the deployment entry is then updated on the client device using the package, while the write-filter is disabled.
