• Windows Forms Using Clickonce to install MSI?

  Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this question has been answered before - so forgive me if it has already.... I was thinking of using Clickonce to install an MSI file (which would be installing services), and then using Clickonce to download new versions of the MSI file and install them.  I believe that the MSI files can configure the services (e.g. stop the service from running, install the new one, and start it.)  Does anyone know if ...Show All

  Does anyone have links to documentation about the Designer architecture for the 2.0 version I'm trying to use it, and I've been able to build a simple application that enables one to design forms at runtime.

• .NET Development Installer package (.msi) requires framework 1.1

  This is a follow-up to my earlier question. I am using Visual Studio 2003. When I build a Windows Application for Framework version 1.1, it is able to run with version 2.0 of the framework.

Now I create a deployment project for my application. It builds a ...Show All
