When Should I Use ClickOnce?
ClickOnce is a powerful technology and is useful when you need to deploy applications that require a minimum amount of interaction from the user. ClickOnce is appropriate in the following scenarios:
• You want to provide your application with the capability of being frequently updated without writing a single line of code.
• Your application makes use of third-party components that are not required to be installed into the Global Assembly Cache.
• You want your application to be installed by nonadministrative users.
• You want to simply deploy add-ins for Microsoft Office.
• Your installation process does not require you to customize the target system other than creating shortcuts.
