Hi Pat,

The video was really informative. I could publish my applications without any trouble but I am having a bit of issue developing my own custom pre requisites for Click once deployment.

I need to create a package that contains a msi file which I have created using the .NET frame work configuration tool. What I am trying to achieve is to have this msi file installed as prerequisite so that my .NETapplication will have sufficient privilleges to run on the client machine.

I am using  Bootstrapper manifest generator for creating my custom package .The build output was successful with 0 warning and I could see the output folder on  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages.

However it is not appearing in the prerequisites window in my visual studio IDE.

Am I missing some cases. I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 express edition.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Generall Speaking the ClickOnce tool works perfectly for what it does And doesn't do much beyond that with out some digging around.

So...I've also provided a SetUp Video showing how to use the SetUp project.

Check it out..

And Good luck

Hello Issamglad,

The number one problem with new version not being deployed is that the developer forget to set the PUBLISH version to a higher number

Thi sisn't eh code or file version it's strictly the version that the ClickOnce component sees.

Good luck

Pat
