Are you sure you followed the steps exactly? I have included a screenshot of what it looks like. I am using Visual Studio but I'm sure it's the same on previous versions.

I am also using VS, I am actually doing the same steps,opening the setup. Then I have no idea what to tell you my friend. Mine is a vanilla install of VS, I have not installed or configured anything special. You can find a program called ResourceHacker that is free and lets you do the same thing with the icon. Fortunately, both of these settings are located in the Application Updates dialog in Visual Studio. Often, moving an application from one environment to the next means tweaks to the Config files.

Database connection strings and web service URLs are just a couple examples of what can change between environments. If you make changes to your Config files after the publish step, you need to re-sign them using Mage.

Along these same lines, if you want to take the environment scenario to the logical conclusion, and have ClickOnce pull updates from different servers such as DEV, QA, etc… then you have another problem.

Fortunately, you can change this without rebuilding and republishing your application. The setup. ClickOnce is a control freak, by design. Most of the time, this is a good thing since it prevents people from maliciously tampering with your application after it has been published or deployed.

You have two options here. As for the second option, I lied. Changing your application to eliminate this dependency is really the only choice if you want to use ClickOnce. There are things you can do in MageUI. The Setup program is left unsigned so that the customer can sign the executable with their own certificate. In the Publish page, verify the publish settings and then click Publish Now. The solution publishes the unsigned application manifest, unsigned deployment manifest, version-specific files, and unsigned Setup program to the publishing folder location.

In the Prerequisites dialog box, clear Create setup program to install prerequisite components. The solution publishes the signed application manifest, signed deployment manifest, and version-specific files to the publishing folder location.

The unsigned Setup program is not overwritten by the publish process. When selected, this option will list the application on the users Start Menu and it allows the application to be automatically updated when a new version is published. By default, updates are available from the Install location. If you wish to have a different location for updates, you can specify that using the Update Settings link. If you do not want the application to be available offline, it will run from the install location.

If you select to support updates, the Update Location is required and must be a valid UNC path or web site. Included on this page is the ability to specify which Application Files to include in the setup, which Prerequisites packages to install, and other Options via the links at the top of the page. Also in this page, you can also set the Publish version and if the version will automatically increment with each publish.

The Publish version number is unique for each ClickOnce profile.
