Choose install path for ClickOnce application during setup


Can I ask the user WHERE to install the application during install time? Most setups prompt the user where to install the application, I'm sure you are familiar with it. How can I do this with the visual studio publisher? (If it cannot be done from the VS publisher could you reccommend a program that can do it? Or do I have to do it manually?


Solution

  • As per this MSDN post: "ClickOnce application are installed per user in the user application cache. These applications are managed by the ClickOnce service. If you want to install to a user specifed location such a Program Files... you should use MSI or some other installer technology."
