I used Click-Once to publish project. Once I double clicked .exe file and finished installation, every time the application will automatically start. Is there anyway I can prevent this. I checked out Click-Once settings and found nothing about this.

No, there is no way to configure this in ClickOnce.

If you're feeling brave, you could check ApplicationDeployment.IsFirstRun and if it's true, just exit the application. This is only set to true when the user gets an update or installs the application. I wouldn't do it, but it's an option.

Why do you want to do this?

Thank you, Robin. Now you confirmed my thought. I will not worry about this too much. May be I should use other publish package rather than Click-Once.

Hi MikeDai,

You can create a Setup Project to build installation package. You can get more information from
