how to add custom prerequisite for a remote client in a clickonce installer?

Question

Hi,

i made a click once installer, in that i added direct X as a custom prerequisite. when i make the installer on my local machine only then the installation of DirectX works fine. but i need to make a clickonce deployment for the web so that a person can remotely access my installer and download it.

when i am adding a custom prerequisite direct X then i want that my installer should start downloading direct X in her machine and installs it. how to do this?

Thanks in advance..

Click Once installers are self-contained. This hinders the risk of tampering with the application's contents (assuming of course the users trust you as the publish).

You will have to bundle the DirectX files within your ClickOnce package.
