Clickonce, Windows Installer, or something else?

Tim
I am fairly new to VS 2005 and I have a unique situation that I would
like ask the group. I have some sensitive files and documents that I
want to deloy to authorized usres. In a nutshell, I want to package a
group of files and documents with an install package and have the user
install it on their Windows XP PC's in a similar fashion they would
install any other Windows application. Does it make sense to try and
use Clickone, or Windows installer, or something else? Any thoughts or
input is appreciated.

ClickOnce is the way to go if you want to keep it simple. Here is a sample web
page with a demo application: http://www.arltex.com

Good luck with your project,
