I'm deploying a winforms app using Visual Studio 2008. My project requries .net 3.5 which I have setup as a prerequisite in the publish settings.
I would like to have the users download the prerequisites from the onsite server where the clickonce project is published. This would obviously be much faster then downloading from the vendor's website. I however am not onsite, and my development machine is not onsite. I publish from a remote location with limited upload speeds.
If I use the option "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application", does that require that I install the .net 3.5 redistributable on my development machine and upload it every time I publish to the onsite server?
The .net redistributables are very large files, and this would not be an idea solution.
