How do I change installation folder in Clickonce deployment - Please Help!!My Click once is installing the application in the user local profile
folder C:\Document and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\ I dont really want startmenu shortcut. How do I able to hardcode the installation folder or allow user to change at runtime? Thanks in advance. Hi,
ClickOnce supports the idea of a non-impactful install. What this essentially results in is that when you install an application, the application gets installed to the user's profile (under documents and settings). You cannot change this, however, the documentation says that you can change the root folder to something other than documents and settings if you wanted to (I have not see an example of this, however). You also asked about preventing start menu shortcuts. Offline applications get entries into the start menu and the add/remove programs list. I don't think that this is configurable, however, getting rid of the shortcut is easy enough. After ClickOnce installs an application, it immediately launches the application. ClickOnce provides an API that you can use to customize installation and updates. The API exposes a property called IsFirstRun. You can query this property in your onload() of the form and then delete the shortcut. http://www.sayedhashimi.com Shameless Book Plug: Deploying .NET Applications: Learning MSBuild and ClickOnce http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590596528/104-3580900-1662334?v=gla... Un check the option for working offline application
