c# - Problems with ClickOnce deployment (to me, it's so annoying)? -


i've tried clickonce first time deploy sql server compact application. think kind of deployment unprofessional:

  1. the output setup folder including 3 objects, 1 folder named application files, setup.exe , .application file i've never seen in professional product setup package.

  2. plus, clicking setup.exe seems user install application user has no chance select location s/he wants install application. it's installed default @ somewhere in target computer. , tried looking location after installation, couldn't find it.

  3. the last, after installation, there folder named "microsoft" in programs menu, , installed application shortcut located in there. wonder why microsoft? tried editing company info in assembly info through project properties window. application shortcut strange when can't find target executable file in properties window.

with above clickonce can bring me, consider funny job testing application not publishing commercial application.

could please correct me if there wrong in #1, #2, #3 , please give me better solution deployment, i'm interested in sql server (service-based , file-based) application only?

your highly appreciated. thanks.

a clickonce install per user "sandboxed" install, not normal install think when installing normal applications. .application file used server manifest , determine if needs update install when clicked.

the reason can't find setup.exe because isn't there. once files installed, isn't kept. user isn't supposed know files are, system manages location , updating of app.

so, that, appears need more normal install, not clickonce. clickonce isn't intended install services or other per machine files.
