Dose anyone know a software solution for patching games?

Like say a mmo patcher, so when you run the patcher, it loads, checks teh net, downloads any patch notes and if it sees that your version of the game on hdrive is diffrent it will download the missing files? Or somthing like that...

Anyways Xpatcher seamed to be perfect but I would like to find a diffrent solution if there is one out there...

Any ideas?

The ones I know are commercial.

- Pocketsoft (RTPatch is probably one of the most common patchers in games; expensive)
- Indigo Rose (common updater/patcher; been around for a while; commercial)
- Wise (used to be a company that made installers; now they are under Symantec; commercial)
- Acresso (new company now making InstallShield; Wise and InstallSHield are the "classics" of this sub-industry)
- ActivePatch (Catalyst; commercial)
