ClickOnce with prerequisites

Is ClickOnce deployment appropriate for an app where you have to ensure that
the user has the correct framework installed (2.0) and also installs the
SQLExpress plus scripts in the database? I've never used the ClickOnce
technology before and am debating whether to use a batch script, an
InstallShield package or ClickOnce. Any advice is appreciated.

Maybe for your case a combination might be the best thing:

- ClickOnce does not work without the .NET framework 2.0. So there is no
chance to check for it with ClickOnce.
- To make the basic installation (.NET Framework, SQLExpess, ...) I
would recommend to use a standard installer (batch script, installer).
- Maybe you also install a shortcut to the ClickOnce location (that is
located on the web).
- For the ongoing updates, I would recommend to use ClickOnce, as it
does the auto-update without that you program anything special...

While ASP.Net is migrating toward more robust presentation by using things like AJAX I am wondering if ClickOnce will errode a lot of ASP.Net presence in Corporate Applications. I've been reading a lot about ClickOnce and it seems compelling particularily since Vista will have the .Net framework included along with the other requirements for ClickOnce deployment. Is there some downside to ClickOnce deployment that I'm now aware of? ...

Hello, I'm working on an application that is installed via ClickOnce. It has the standard .NET 2.0 prerequisite as well as the Crystal Reports Viewer. Both of these packages are included in VS.NET 2005. Developers have three choices in how to include any prerequisites in the bootstrapper: 1) Use the manufacturer's URL embeded in the package.xml; 2) Use the location that the app was published to; and 3) Use a predetermined, static URL.

Hi there, I deploy my WPF application with Visual Studio 2008 and ClickOnce. My application runs with the ;Net 3.0 framework, but during the installation steps, the .Net 3.5 component is required... Do you know why ? Could VStudio 2008 need this component ? Oriane

Hi there, Apologies if this NG is off-topic but I can't find anything more appropriate (feel free to let me know). I'm looking at ClickOnce as a possible alternative to MSI and have poured through much of the docs trying to figure out how to customize my app's install if possible. In my deployment scenario users will be downloading the app from my web site in WYSIWYG fashion but I'm stuck on the following issues: 1) I need to prompt...

I have a program which runs fine here (created in VB9). I publish it to my web site for download & install. It runs on some computers (one or two) but not others. When it does not run, it causes a reporting and submission window to pop up. It seems something is missing. This program was converted from a VB6 original piece. Unfortunately, I started on the .NET path just a couple of weeks after getting this app going. I have...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
