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

    I have read both pages but I don't understand how Click Once or Netsparkle removes and re-installs application or overide installed app. It seems like these two solutions just inform users about update? –  May 16 '12 at 15:16
  • no, they can use used to implement auto update, though it requires some custom [logic](http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/19623/Adding-automatic-updates-to-your-program-Part-1). [Net sparkle autoupdate](http://netsparkle.codeplex.com/documentation) – Tilak May 16 '12 at 15:21
