I spent a bit attempting to figure out how to do a ClickOnce installer for ToDo. I was shocked to see where it was actually. I had to ask Martin Schray where since he created a how-to video on the “normal” installer.
So if you want to create a ClickOnce application, follow along.
- Open up Visual Studio and whatever solution makes you feel good inside about.
- Be sure the project you want deployed is selected in your solution window
- Go to Build –> Publish
- The rest is pretty straight forward. I picked FTP for my method of delivery.
One issue I dislike however with ClickOnce is it limits what you can do in terms of being an installer. I would love to put a file in the “Start up” folder, however Click Once doesn’t give me that power. Due to this fact, I’ll have to add it in programmatically.
