where to get files for cd for clickonce

Question

I have created a clickonce deployment and published it to a website. I want to put the installer (version 1.0.0) on a cd for distribution to clients. A setup.exe was created in the route of the published folder but this is very small and cannot be the whole thing required for a cd.

I passed this on to a co developer who ran the setup.exe file alone and it told him required files are missing. Which files should I put on the cd and is there somewhere specific that these are located?

I selected the option that this installer was going onto a cd when going through the publishing wizard.

Answer 1

I think you need all the files in that folder, not just the setup.exe file.

Application Files
autorun.inf
install.html
YourApp.application
setup.exe

In the Application Files folder, I believe you can omit the old versions.

Answer 2

In the folder I see a setup.exe and myappname.application. there are two other folders, one is called application files. the other is called windowsinstaller3_1.

Answer 3

Just FYI, the setup.exe is the prerequisites, not the applicaiton. The .application file is the deployment manifest that is used to install the application. It will in turn call setup.exe for any prerequisites you have set up.
