WiiSCU by Wack0 (updated by Illinialex24) (mod of IOS51+shop by tona) - powered by PatchMii. The application gives you the option to install new versions of channels and IOSes without touching the system menu.
Remember to be careful with IOS60 if you are on 4.0-4.1, the new version (0.22) fixes the stub issue but it still can be dangerous if your internet or power goes off.
The new version has the source included because of the copyright.

What is it ?
WiiSCU uses PatchMii to update the following to their latest versions:
- IOS16
- IOS38
- IOS60
- IOS61
- News Channel
- Weather/Forecast Channel
- Mii Channel
- Photo Channel
- Shop Channel
Can it brick ?
It is not likely but be careful around IOS60. The stub issue has been fixed in the unofficial v0.22 release of WiiSCU, but still treat IOS60 with caution if you are using System Menu 4.0-4.1.
Also, make sure you have a steady power supply when updating system software; never do it during a thunderstorm. The channel options could banner-brick if there is a power cut whilst installing. Mr. Resetti recommends running the Wii through a UPS if you're paranoid.
At this point, you should have a NAND backup from BootMii just in case. This way, if you brick, you still have a way to fix it.
Warning
WARNING: If you update IOS61 with this tool, choose -trucha. Choosing +trucha will probably make HBC turn upside down. There is no need for trucha in IOS61 anyway.
Which version do I download?
If you need Shop Channel, use version 0.23 (modified by SifJar) which downloads v18 of the Shop Channel, instead of getting latest version, due to some issues caused by getting latest version. This version also gets v6174 of IOS60 as in v0.22
For anyone using System Menu 4.0-4.1, use WiiSCU v0.22 (unofficially contributed by illinialex24 and Bionic Sonic).
- Fixes the IOS60 stub issue by getting v6174 instead of the latest version
- Thanks to LegndNikko for doing testing on v0.22
For anyone using System Menu 4.2 and do not plan on downgrading, use WiiSCU v0.21 (latest official version by Wack0).
- Always gets the latest version of IOS60
