Windows Installer Vs. ClickOnce

I am making a VB 2005 app, and I have another installation question.
:-)

Have you ever had to use the windows installer instead of clickonce
installation? I read an article that says you have to use the windows
installer when you have a "complex" installation.

What does that mean? Specifically, what type of complexities would
force you to use the windows installer instead of ClickOnce?

Code access security is something to consider. Despite whatever
frustrated developers trying to use one click deploy tell you, CAS is a
feature, not a complexity! :)

Right now, I have these 2 files in zip file format and when ever the application requires one of...

There is a patch to upgrade UAB2 to dotnet 2 on gotdotnet But, as normal, there are no instructions on what to do to patch the Microsoft UAB 2 install. Can Microsoft please upgrade their UAB2 installer to support dotnet 2 now. I really need help urgently as I am completely lost due to the changes that I'm expected to use a crystal ball to understand.

Hey All, I have an application that I have been using clickonce for up to this point. The issue is that clickonce is limiting the use for this application in areas. One of the areas has to do with manifest signing, and the fact that clickonce has severe limitations when NAT issues occur. It doesn't seem to be able to resolve network names well. My question is, I want to create an installer such that someone goes to a website, and either...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
