Im using click-once as deploymentmethod for an Application. The Application is hostet in our Intranet. (Link refers on *.application)

Each time when im publishing a new Release of my Application, VisualStudio generates/manipulates the Folderstructure automatically.

In my publishing root, there are one Folder and two files

  • Application Files
  • setup.exe
  • XX.application

The folderstructure contains ALL releases of the past and the actual one.

My Settings are

  • Application is only online availiable
  • NO! Special options, basically the Optionspage is blank

Im just increasing the Versionnumber. Thats how the depoying works for me.

If a user clicks on the link (.application), the newest release is synced to his PC and then executed.

Unfortunately i'm using a german version of VisualStudio, so im quite sure, Screenshots wont help you a lot.
