VB.net 2010 Windows Forms Application "Click once always checks for the newer version"

Hi

In a previous answer I was told that "Click once always checks for the newer version"
I distribute my VB.net applications manually by copying the latest installation folder
onto each user's desktop and running the Setup.exe file.

I have now managed to put the installation folder onto my website. When each user's
application starts my code automatically downloads this zipped file. How do I set things up
so that click once automatically checks for the newer version?

Thanks Eric.  Can this be done using VB.net code?
Thanks for the help
ClickOnce is not allowing automation. Sure you can ask the API to download updates from your web site from within your application and stuff like this but it will always hit the folder under Users. You don't have the option of the folder where the application is getting installed.
Thanks Eric. I appreciate the extra advice
