Click Once setup !

[harsh288]

Hello Guys,

I know there is no Click once setup for compact framework but still if there is anything like
clickonce setup for deplying CAB file and downloading and installing on client.
Once the setup is installed on the client any changes done in the setup is reflected on
client without installing again.

Hi,
im having trouble understanding exactly what you mean, it may be why nobody has responded.

ive not used click once before but i know with a setup project(which is a seperate project that you add to your assembly in the templates) you have the ability to do probably anything you can think of as far as installations are concerned, a word of warning though its not easy if you have never done it before, make sure you go through a tutorial or walkthrough before starting.

after your familiar with what needs doing it will probably take an hour to setup a simple installation project, with reg entries, file locations, pre-requisite locations, some logic etc

ClickOnce deployments are pretty straight forward and doesn't require a lot of testing mainly because you don't have all the options that you get with a full deployment environment.

I'm not aware of any existing self-deployment tools for CF but that doesn't mean there are no third party tools out there that can handle it. It's been awhile since I developed anything for "classic" CE devices but you can build your own self-updating deployment for CAB files. There is an old article written by Alex Feinman available at MSDN which shows you how you can build your own OTA deployment environment. As I said the article is fairly old but I've used that strategy in the past with great success.
