How to deploy Click-Once applications to customers via installer projects?

Hi,

We are a software company that wish to use Click-Once deployment to
allow our customers to deliver smart clients to their worker's
desktops.

We have experimented successfully in-house with publishing our
application from VS2005 to local web servers, and have tested the
download, installation and upgrade proceedures.

We now wish to create an installer that we can provide to our
customers. This installer would install the click-once files to a
virtual directory within IIS on their server. There would also be the
facility for us to provide them with additional installers as we
upgrade our product, so they can, in turn upgrade their click-once
installation and thereafter their client PCs.

The "out of the box" setup projects take primary output from projects
(winforms, web app, web service etc.) and create installers to install
this software on a client/server. They don't, however, seem to support
Published winforms applications. The only way we can currently see
this process working, is in two stages: First publish manually to a
known location, then compile the web setup project, including the
known location's files.

If possible we would like to know how Microsoft have envisaged
companies providing click-once applications and further updated
versions to their customers. There appears not to be a great deal of
documentation in this area.

Many thanks,
Mark Roberts
