Windows installer and self updates

How can I create a Setup project for a VB.Net 2005 Windows Forms application with self-updating capabilities. The app needs to be installed in the Program Files folder for all users.

Any advice/help will be appreciated.

There's nothing built in to do it. You have to do it by writing self-udating code.

There's some you can use, the AppUpdater component, at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/UABch1.asp
