Publishing aPP

[Guest]

I have used the publish wizard to distribute app using click once. A few
questions:

1. Is there a way for me to dictate what folder on the users computer the
application gets installed into?

2. Why do I see a "reference" to the application exe and not the atucal file
exe anywhere on the machine this app installed on?

3. The file also instals an ini file which workds, but I don't see that
filel on the users machien either.

I am confused.

No.

Because the application and dependencies are downloaded to a
predetermined folder on the users machine, usually something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\. The
actual location and file names are determined by ClickOnce and not
something you can manage.

3. The file also instals an ini file which workds, but I don't see that
filel on the users machien either.

You need to include that as a dependency; look around on the Publish
screen for advanced options, you can tell it other files that need to
be included.

Thank you! I see it all now.
