WPF program auto software update

Question

I developed a WPF Setup application. This app can not update itself automaticly. For update, users should remove the app and re-install it.

My app is taking data from SQL Server 2008 which is on my server. In other words, app works like a browser. All data came from my server.

How can I inform my users and update app automaticly?

Thanks

You can use click once (auto update).

If you dont want to use clickonce, you can use netsparkle

Deploy and update smart client projects using central server -> uses click once

Adding automatic updates to your app -> It does not use click once itself, though consume clickonce manifests.

Set up net sparkle autoupdate
