MSI installer combined with ClickOnce

I have a scenario where I want to install a base application using an MSI installer, and then the base app should be updated with plug-ins (each plugin is a separate assembly). Can I use ClickOnce programmatically from the base app to download and update the plug-ins?

Thanks

Lars, ClickOnce does not (not yet at least) have support for a plug-in type model where you want to individually install and service plug-ins that are assemblies in your app. Each ClickOnce app is essentially an entire app and must have its own .EXE entry point.
