I have a wrapper I created to kick off a couple of processes and put a clickonce package in a user-selectable directory. The two processes this wrapper execute install a sql express instance and then create a database. This means I have new connection information to supply my app, hidden inside my ClickOnce package. I've seen one unanswered post in this forum about configuring clickonce'd applications once the package is created, but I can't find out if what I need is even doable without modifying the app being installed ahead of time. Do I have any options?

Thanks,
Bill

You can not specify the location of a ClickOnce deployment. One of the major points of ClickOnce is to be able to install it with no admin privs. For this reason, it installs it under the user's profile in obfuscated folders. The folder structure is defined and determined by the ClickOnce technology, and updates won't work if it is not retained.

Maybe you should just use a setup & deployment package.
