We will be more than happy to help you, if you get stuck. We will not write the code for you though. Try to write it on your own and let us know if you get stuck.

If you look in the .NET Code Bank, you'll find a post that has some code which will update apps. It's a little clunky, but I'm sure it works (if it doesn't, it should only need some minor tweaking).

As far as needing framework... they should already have it... otherwise they wouldn 't be running your app in the first place.

Use the XML.

Like this;
Put a file to server, name is: "Update.xml" including this lines:
"LastVersion"

On program:
Read XML file "LastVersion" information,

If LastVersion = CurrentVersion Then
'No updates available, put your code
Else
'Updates are avaiblable
'Go to update page, or download file
End If

Check in the codebank, there are at least 3 auto updater samples/classes there.
