Well, can you give us more information regarding your package? What kind of application is it and how many components are there? What did you use to setup the package (ClickOnce?)?

Thanks !!!

This application is basically and vb.net application which fetch some data from a central server having public ip , so what i am looking for is if have added or modify some code in the application , how i can have user update their old application with my new build.

so is it possible that since its an public ip i can keep in some folder where that users will have access and application with download the updated file or build and install automatically so that users don't have to do the process of uninstall and install.

Yes and that will depend on what installation package you use, but it certainly is possible.

I'm not sure about ClickOnce (have never used it)

ClickOnce can automatically check a site and download and install updates for the application. It's actually pretty nice (other than the fact that it puts the application into the app cache folder).
