Updates..?

Or you could make a separate project that simply replaces the files within the directory instead of uninstalling/installing. If you want to make it easier, though, you could use a Self-Extracting Archive made by WinRAR or 7-Zip or something of the like.

Precisely. Make sure you write it on a separate thread so update checking doesn't cause your program to load unnecessarily slowly. This can also be done with the built in BackgroundWorker object, which is essentially another thread.
