ClickOnce: How to turn on update checking if app was installed without update checking (UpdateEnabled=false)

I have a ClickOnce app. In ClickOnce Update parameters flag was set - so app is checking for updates:

App was published and 100+ users installed it. When publishing new version of app, this flag was unset by mistake. So users received app, that will never check for updates.

Now a new version of app (which is built with update checking enabled again) is published. I'm trying to figure out, how users can receive this new version without need to reinstall app?

Maybe there is any hidden argument, flag or any other way to tell app on user's machines to check for update regardless of this flag?

Thanks

    There is maybe no other ways to implement your requirement but to re-make the ClickOnce for publishing.From How to: Manage updates for a ClickOnce application, we can see that checking the application should check for updates is the premise of app update.
