ClickOnceMore provides a simple and intuitive environment for creating, maintaining and building your ClickOnce deployments.

A simple two step approach to building ClickOnce deployments

Step 1 - Use the Project Editor to define all of the settings for your ClickOnce manifests and to pull in files from anywhere in your system.

Step 2 - Use the Command Line Tool to integrate ClickOnce seamlessly into your regular build process so you always have an up to date deployment to install.

ClickOnceMore as an alternative to Mage

With Mage you have to use batch files to copy all of your files to one location and manually run Mage to set up the ClickOnce deployment.

With ClickOnceMore you can use the Project Editor to define inclusion rules. For example, you can include all the assemblies from one directory and all the xml files from another.

ClickOnceMore in conjunction with Visual Studio

Once defined, a ClickOnceMore project can easily be integrated with Visual Studio. A post build step fires off the Command Line Tool which builds the projects you defined in the Project Editor. Then a single click in Visual Studio gives you a new ClickOnce deployment including all of your up to date assemblies.

With ClickOnceMore Version 2 you can:

  • Create ClickOnce installation projects with a Windows application
  • Integrate building ClickOnce manifests into your development and build processes using the Command Line Tool so you always have an up to date deployment for your testers and QA staff to install
  • Specify exact files to be deployed in your application or use include and exclude rules
  • Ensure that new files get dragged into your build automatically with no need to edit the project every time you add a new assembly
  • View the included files list to quickly see which files your rules are dragging in
  • Specify installation directories for fine grained control of the folder structure created on the end users machine
  • Pull in files from multiple directories, not restricted to a single root folder as you would be with Mage
  • Use a full range of ClickOnce features, including updates, prerequisites and trust levels
  • Specify an exact version number on every build or auto increment the version number
  • Integrate easily with source control to support team development due to project based approach
  • Allow each developer to work in their preferred way using Project User Options
  • Specify your own publish page template, or use our default one
  • Define macro schemes with different sets of values for different builds using the powerful macro framework, e.g. Development and Production, so you only need one ClickOnceMore project to run each of your builds
  • Use all of the .Net3.5 ClickOnce features such as desktop shortcuts, file associations, installation error URL, minimum OS error URL, and suite name
  • Specify a minimum .Net Framework version for the target systems
  • Full support for .Net4
  • Supports obfuscated assemblies, allowing you to quickly incorporate code obfuscation and ClickOnce into your automated build process
  • Use online documentation and help guides including our Quick Start guide to get you going

The ClickOnceMore of tomorrow...

ClickOnceMore is a continually evolving piece of software, there are a whole host of new features in the pipeline for future releases.

If one of the upcoming features in the following list is of particular interest to you and you would like to see it sooner rather than later, just get in touch and let us know.

If there are features that you feel are missing from the list and you would like to see included in the ClickOnceMore application, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss future releases.

Release dates for future versions will be announced on this site. In the meantime here are some of the upcoming additions:

  • Rename and move ClickOnce manifests using the ClickOnceMore command line tool. This great new feature, combined with the power of ClickOnceMore macros, will give you even more control over your software workflow. Allowing you to seamlessly move a product from Development into QA and then into Production
  • Optional ClickOnce manifest signing, as supported by Visual Studio. If you don't need the security of signed manifests, then you don't need to go to the effort of creating a certificate to use. Just deploy your ClickOnce app unsigned
  • Better handling of duplicate assemblies pulled in by file inclusion rules... catching the duplicates, so that you don't have to! Leaving you free to concentrate on more important things than ClickOnce!
  • Support for a Setup.exe file to be run BEFORE the ClickOnce installation
  • Output ClickOnce files direct to an FTP site or using Front Page Extensions
  • Additional Command Line Tool options to give you even more control over your deployment
  • New inclusion rules to automatically find DLL dependencies and pull them into your deployment
  • Enhanced support for certificates including being able to create certificates and select them from the machine or user store
  • Support for XBAP and Office Add in deployments
