Can I deliver my software using windows update

Ok I would like to ship my software using windows update or similar microsoft technology to client operating systems.

I know that windows enables to provide drivers through windows update: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh833792

But I am able to prepare inf file that would install msi. Questions are:

  1. Can I ship my software through windows update?
  2. If I have to make a driver from it can I include msi in driver package?
Solution

  • Looks like third party software that is related to driver and some hardware functionality can be pushed by windows update. This is what I have got from Microsoft - maybe it will be useful for somebody like me :)
