Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure you can't, would be a bit of a security hole if you could.

Why do you want to do this without prompting the user? Lots of bad things come to mind, which is why I don't think this is possible.

Then he's exploiting a security hole, which will get patched eventually, and won't make him very popular.

That would create a spamware. Can you mention why you want to do this, please?
My be there is some other option.

Why not have an agent in the software so it can update itself? This is what most apps do.

Then you can avoid a dependency on the web browser.

Ok, I think something is being left out.
Downloading software updates for a web based tool?

Maybe if you could start from the beginning so that we can see the whole picture...
we might be able to help out a little more.

I've worked on a few software update platforms. I did a little for the RealPlayer, some standalone apps, as well as some webstart projects. So, I should be able to offer some help.
