ClickOnce!

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.

  1. Open up Visual Studio and whatever solution makes you feel good inside about.
  2. Be sure the project you want deployed is selected in your solution window

  3. Go to Build –> Publish

  4. 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.

Yeah, in my very limited experience with ClickOnce, I was left impressed by how much it takes care of but saddened by how much else in the installation process you have to give up to get there.
