Q: 

ClickOne updating application on local machine

I am working on VS 2010 with .net 4 (OS: Windows XP). I want my application to have update feature. I have only one computer. How can i deploy the application it to test the update feature?

Currently i am publishing my application in a folder in my documents
I tried publishing to local FTP using XAMPP but it was unable to check for updates on FTP.
Now i have installed IIS to make a local HTTP server to deploy my application there but it asks for Front Page Server Extension then was asking Front Page.

All i need is that my application can update it self. Original requirement was patch update but i don't know how to do that. I think using ClickOnce is enough.

A: 

Create a network share on your local machine and publish to that; when you install the application, make sure to install it via the network share too.

can you please add some more detail? After creating network share, where will i deploy the application with what options? They are confusing. e.g. different installation and publish folder

In most cases, the installation URL and publish file location are the same. Just use \\myshare\myfolder\ for both.
