This is already possible. You can check the version number and or file/date
stamp on the users machine. Then you have your large "runtime" (as an
SetupBuilder installer or packaged in a ZIP archive) located on your HTTP(s)
server. And you have an additional text file on your HTTP(s) server that
holds the version number of the runtime. The installer connects to the
server and checks if the file on your server is a newer one. If this is the
case, you can download and install or unzip it.

If you need help with this, please let me know. We are using this method in
most consulting projects.

BTW, I am busy preparing the SetupBuilder 2023 BETA-1 for upload.
