So I'm wondering if there is a way to make a ClickOnce ...

For example, if you open a generated app.config file, it might look like: <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/></startup></configuration> This is difficult to read, is there a w...
