Updating AIR application with embedded runtime?

Question

I'm writing a AIR application with an embedded runtime (.app) and am having trouble finding a way to update it. I need to somehow download a new .app off a server and overwrite the existing file, and promptly restart the application. I'm clueless on how I'd achieve this.

Any ideas?

Try this: https://code.google.com/p/nativeapplicationupdater/

Or, if you only need to update some content that is used by the app, you can just have your app download it using URLLoader and store it using File, say to File.applicationStorageDirectory.
