I have an app that I've installed on three computers and I'd like to
convert it to use ClickOnce in order to get updates. Any advice on
what I need to do to make this happen?

Is the application already written in .NET 2.0?

Yes, in VB.Net. It uses the Reportviewer control which has already
been installed on the user's machines. That was tricky using ClickOnce
and was the reason that I just went around and installed the thing.
But upgrades are beginning to creep up and I'd prefer to just use
ClickOnce now.

Okay, I'm really confused. It sounds like you are already using ClickOnce (in
your previous post). So I am a little lost what your question is. Can you
explain more?
