Adding your own Pre-requisite installer to a ClickOnce app

STEPS

  • Download and install the Bootstrap Manifest Generator
  • Start a New Project and choose Package Manifest
  • Give your project a name and code (these can be the same)
  • Click on Project/Add Install File and choose your installer
  • Give a Display Name in the Install File settings
  • Build your project with Project/Build
  • On Vista this will ignore any properties about where it creates the file. Look for it in \Users\{username}\Documents\{Project Name}
  • Copy this to your packages location. Usually here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\

You should now be able to choose this in your Project Properties\Publish\Prerequisites list.
