On this year's Professional Developers Conference (PDC 2003) in Los
Angeles, Microsoft presented a new installation technology code named
"ClickOnce". It is not based on Windows Installer (MSI), but it also doesn't
replace MSI.
From what I understand so far, ClickOnce is basically the fulfillment of
Microsoft's promise of "XCopy Deployment" for .NET applications, with a friendly
user interface.
ClickOnce is a set of functionality in the next version of Microsoft® Visual
Studio® .NET (code name "Whidbey") and the Microsoft® .NET Framework. Extended
support for ClickOnce will be included in the next version of Windows (code name
"Longhorn").
ClickOnce applications can be deployed to a client machine from a Web location,
a UNC share, or even from a file location such as a CD. Your application will
run inside a security "sandbox", and ClickOnce installations cannot directly
change the target machine configuration (except creating a shortcut on the Start
menu).
If you need an install that impacts the client machine (to create file
associations, install MSDE, or perform other similar actions) then you still
have to handle that side of the installation through an .MSI file. Of course,
everything you do outside of the regular ClickOnce deployment process can reduce
the ClickOnce functionality. Also, the .NET Framework is required on the target
machine.
InstallShield announced (and showcased on PDC) that their DevStudio
tool will integrate in Visual Studio "Whidbey" and will support ClickOnce,
allowing developers to customize ClickOnce deployments in several ways.
