ClickOnce automation

Greetings,
I have a question about ClickOnce and daily builds. Currently all our
software is housed in TFS, and we have a daily build that dumps
everything into a nice, neat directory. Now here comes the science. I
want to automate ClickOnce so that after the build, it then creates the
App and Delpoy manifests. I'm well versed in Powershell, so I first set
out using that along with Mage.exe. I found mage extremely lacking in
options for the manifests. I need more control over than mage can give
me. MageUI on the other hand can do everything I need it to do. So my
question is this. Is there a way to automate ClickOnce so that I don't
have to touch it after TFS runs a build?

Thanks,
Chris

We encountered the same problem. I tried to use Mage.exe, but it lacks some
command line options that I needed. For example, I cannot make "Allow URL
parameters to be passed to application" with Mage.exe.

It is really frustrating that Mage.exe cannot do what MageUI.exe can do.
