How to manually copy ClickOnce projects to a publish web site?
I am developing a project using VS.NET Beta2. However, our publish web site is a IIS running .NET Framework 1.1 and we cannot upgrade it to 2.0 at this time. Can I manually copy project files to that web site and configure it to let our customer download and auto-update our project executables?
Thanks!
You don't need .Net 2.0 on the server. You can publish your ClickOnce deployment to IIS using VS 2005. As long as you have the MIME type correctly configured as below you can publish to IIS.
.application -> application/x-ms-application
.manifest -> application/x-ms-application
.deploy -> application/octet-stream
You can also manually copy the necessary files to your web-server, though publishing using VS2005 is much more convenient.
Thanks,
