ClickOnce Deployment

[Christian Havel]

Hi,

I want to deploy my managed COM object (DLL, .NET 2.0) using ClickOnce
Deployment.
In the project properties, tab "Signing" the checkbox "Sign the ClickOnce
manifest" is disabled.

Why?

Actually, all the publish options will be disabled.

You can't publish just a dll using ClickOnce; ClickOnce deploys
applications, not individual dlls. If you want to install a standalone
managed COM component then you will need to use an installer such as an msi.

Hi,

thank you.

Well, I have read in the MSDN how to deploy referenced COM componentes (e.g.
..NET references a VB6 control) by isolating COM components.

I tried this by creating a .NET Exe and want to add a reference to the
*.tlb. This does not work, because Visual Studio detects that the *.tlb is
generated from a .NET assembly and informs me to add a reference to the
assembly instead the *.tlb.

Do you have any other idea?
