Forced to enter an Installation URL when same as FTP publishing location

VS 2005 forces me to enter an Installation URL when the ClickOnce Publishing Location is an ftp server, but the intallation URL should be optional. How do I publish to an FTP site without specifying an Installation URL?I want users to go directly to the ftp server to access the installation (access thesetup.exe).

Thank you,

Barry

I have worked out the answer to my question about being forced by Visual Studio to include an "optional" Installation URL when publishing to an FTP server:
The reason is that FTP deployment (end user installation) is not supported, only FTP publishing (copying ClickOnce files to the deployment server). So, a URL would be required for deployment.
