hi,

Thanks, Bharathi

You can't mix ClickOnce and MSI setups in that way - you can't deploy something with an MSI file and then use ClickOnce to update installed files. This isn't an arbitrary rule - MSI keeps track of everything installed on the system, its location and the file versions of any binaries. If you change or alter these files then a repair can start and will simply restore the files back to the versions theywere when first installed. Once you use MSI tthen yourupdates and changes must also be MSI-based.

Thanks Phil for reply.
the need formsi: because size is huge. If we use msi means it can be transferred to CD.
I assume click once deployment is the one which is put on the folder at a server and copied to client.
Then, is that click once set up can be moved to CD.(I might be wrong.please correct me).

I think now u have understand the requirement. please let me know if you want more details.
