This is the link to ClickOnce on MSDN:

I've used ClickOnce with Csla, and it worked great for me. Check out the overview section and see if it meets your needs.

Um, anyone could run it. You can deploy ClickOnce applications from CDs and such, just as you would normally. You can configure how it will update, when it will check, etc.
Why exactly do you think ClickOnce isn't good for a commercial application?
The other alternative is the Application Update Block, or something like that, which is part of Microsoft's Enterprise Library. That I believe is much more powerful, but also much more complex and may require much more effort on your part.

On the message pat at the bottom there is C# v.2.1.1 (with some improvements and an example of use)
