ClickOnce Prerequisites not being published to webserver

Question

I have generated a Bootstrapper Manifest using the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator tool. The Package has been successfully installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\

The package seems to have been successfully created as it shows up in the list of available prerequisites from the project's publish properties page. After checking the package and publishing the application, I do not see the prerequisite folder anywhere under the main application directory on my webserver. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Make sure you have "Create setup program to install prerequisite components" checked, along with the correct option for "Specify the install location for prerequisits":

Answer 2

Solved problem:

Manually editing product.xml bychanging CopyAllPackageFiles to true i.e

CopyAllPackageFiles="true

fixed this problem. setup.msi and associated cab files were published successfully to the server. I have not found a way to set this from the BMG tool.
