You need to develop your windows application as you normally do. Then use the click once deployment technique to deploy your windows application.
Click Once Deployment in short :-
The Click Once Deployment is introduced in the .Net Framework 2.0 which allows you to install the windows application from the web url where it is hosted and the installation will add a start menu icon and also a reference would get added in the Add/Remove programs. Whenever you will access the application, it will first check for the update of the applciation from the given url automatically and if present will update itself.
For more details on how exactly to build the application please refer below links,
