Hi,

How to include a license.rtf in the ClickOnce deployment ??? I did not see any solution regarding this ?
Is this possible through ClickOnce ????

Or please suggest any other method ??????

Thanks in advance,

Add the file to your deployment by right-clicking on the project and selecting "Add Existing Item". After it's added, click on it and set Build Action = "Content" and set Copy To Output Directory to "Copy always".

When you deploy it, it will be included, and you can access it like this:

string PathToRtf = Path.Combine(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath, "myfile.rtf");

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

But I have some doubts to ask. I am using ClickOnce deployment for my VSTO Outlook AddIn (for Outlook 2007).
I did not includ any SetUp and Deployment project in my solution. I usually making the setup by choosing the Publish option when we right clickon the project.

Using this way, how can i show the license file before theinstallation starts ?????

Thanks in advance,

The only way I can think of to show the license.rtf before the application starts is to deploy a prerequisite that shows it. You would have to write a small app that shows the rtf file, and when the user okays it, then fire the ClickOnce deployment off. You could also have your add-in code show it, and if the user turns it down, disable itself. Keep some kind of config setting so you know whether or not they accepted it maybe? RobinDotNet
