.Net client profile configuration designer + ClickOnce

Hi, i'm developping a WPF application build with .Net Client Profile 3.5.
So i want the application to be able to update. So i use ClickOnce for this task.

To allow user to have better install experience i'm trying to use .Net client profile configuration designer but i don't understand how link this one to a clickonce app

Thanks by advance

IIRC, the configuration designer lets you pick the OS and so on? Am I right?

You can simply go to the Application tab for the main project, set the target framework to .Net 3.5, then click the "client-only framework subset" checkbox rightbelow that dropdown box.

Then for your deployment, look in the Prerequisites dialog and select .Net Framework Client Profile instead of .Net 3.5.

If your user has *no* version of .Net on his machine, it will install the Client Profile. If he has *any* version of .Net on his machine, it will install .Net 3.5 SP-1, the whole shebang.

BTW, MSFT is now distributing .Net 3.5 SP-1 via Windows Updates as a critical update.

Does this help?
