ClickOnce Deployment of Windows Applications

  • Article

ClickOnce deployment allows easy installation and updates for Windows applications that are published to a Web site.

The following core scenarios describes how ClickOnce deployment is supported:

  • On the development machine, the Windows application is published to a Web site.
  • On the client machine, the published Web site provides the option to install the Windows application.
  • The client automatically receives updates to the Windows application.

Windows applications that use Crystal reports are not only publishable to Web sites, but also FTP servers, shared network servers (through File Share), and disk drives. To deploy the application, the Crystal Reports .NET runtime components and the .NET Framework version 2.0 must be installed on the client machines.
