- j_s 14y agoThanks. I haven't looked at ClickOnce in a long time, interesting to hear it is a viable solution for commercial apps. For example, did not know it could update in the background for next run of the app.
- xpaulbettsx 14y agoIt really isn't, which is sad, because it's like 95% Awesome and 5% Showstopper Bugs. Here's the most damning aspect of it: if you sign your ClickOnce application (which you are required to or else ClickOnce's installer displays scary "Don't Install This" messages), then the cert expires, every user has to uninstall and reinstall. Completely untenable. http://github.com/github/shimmer http://github.com/github/shimmer is our plan for the future.
- j_s 14y agoThanks for this reminder... documenting how to cleanly transition from ClickOnce to shimmer would be a spectacular resource.
