ClickOnce deployment on common pcs

[Guest]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure ClickOnce deployment so that it will be
installed once somewhere on the machine for all users to access instead of
installed under individual user profile folder. If I were to deploy ClickOnce
application on a common PC which is used by many users, it will be very
tedious for each user to install one copy on the machine.

Thanks in advance.

Although i'm not an IT-PRO, instead of using click-once, can't you install the MSI via group policy?

Thanks Tim. Actually previously we use group policy to deploy; while now just
wondering whether can use ClickOnce instead.

ClickOnce does not support a single install for all users of a
machine. With ClickOnce all users must install their own copy. I
actually don't like this restriction either but they implemented it
this way to get around having administrators do the install.
