C# Apis to facilitate auto update of application

Question

I have a C# app in which I need to have an automatic update feature.

Are there any APIs in .Net that would facilitate this process ?

Microsoft clickonce does not let us install the app in the program files, so its not useful for us in our particular case.

Any help.

Thanks,

its essentially doing same thing as click-once. I mentioned the reason for not using click-once – Ahmed Nov 18 '12 at 19:00

InstallShield(http://www.flexerasoftware.com/products/installshield.htm), Wise Installer(now Installaware http://www.installaware.com/), and Wix (http://wixtoolset.org/, open source) are most popular.
