[SOLVED] Does Continuous/Automated Deployment make any sense for desktop applications?

Does Continuous/Automated Deployment make any sense for desktop applications?

I'm currently starting reading the book Continuos Delivery by Humble/Farley and while a lot of stuff in there makes sense, there one thing that's nagging me:

It does seem the authors are solely targeting server-based (single-client?) applications (like webapps) with their treatment of what things to do and to avoid wrt. automating the build process, the testing, the deployment.

Looking at the questions tagged continuous-deployment it does also seem the term is only used in context of server-based applications.

So, I was wondering, does automating stuff after "the setup" (talking of a windows app) for a desktop app has been created even make any sense? The "deployment" of a desktop app is always user-driver, so what kind of sense would it make to automate anything here -- and, really, what stuff could be automated that made any sense?

_{Oh, and btw. I'm entirely unsure whether this question would be better put on programmers.SE, so feel free to move it there if you think it would.}
