Hello

Just for testing/understanding purposes I created a test-project with VS 2005 and published it (ClickOnce) with the following settings

Publish Location --> C:\Temp\Publish
Install Location --> c:\Temp\Install
Upate Location --> c:\Temp\Update

Now I examined the manifests, but I could not find the string "c:\Temp\Install" ANYWHERE, just the "c:\Temp\Update". But still clickonce has to know this path somehow as I cannot install from c:\Temp\Publish.

So where does it store the "Install Location" path??

Can someone explain me the exact difference and effect of Install and Update path (when are they used, checked etc)?

Thanks

The scenario you describe is not possible becaue you have to pass in a URL for install location--you cannot pass in c:\temp\install as you said.

Just for clarification let me just say what the three parameters define and the form of each parameter:

1) The publish location defines where you want VS to put the files. This can be a local path, a URL, or a UNC path.
2) The installation URL has to be a URL or a UNC path (i.e something like "\\mymachine\deploypath" or "http://mymachine/deployment/").
3) The update location also has to be either a URL or a UNC path.

Thanks,

Sayed
