ClickOnce

[pkling]

Have you thought about using ClickOnce as a deployment option of PwnBoxer?

Information

• ClickOnce Deployment
• ClickOnce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• 15 Seconds : ClickOnce Deployment in .NET Framework 2.0 well not totally related to 2008 project if I remember correctly UI looks pretty close to the same

While I have not deployed any code using ClickOnce I have used a software package that did and it worked pretty good for updates.

I have used a similar technology from Java to deploy my applications. I love it makes it so easy to deploy new code.

Thanks

Oh god the ClickOnce concept is extremely horribad and there is a reason nobody is using it.

#1 the security model behind it is extremely flawed. The PC user is delegating their security to Microsoft's ClickOnce system, which is a horrible thing to do.

#2 the ClickOnce system doesn't really even facilitate a need that PC users have. Instead, it facilitates the transfer of funds from developers to MC by way of certificate requirement.

All in all, horrible technology by MS, which is why it will never be used

One of the words in the above sentence is redundant. Identifying it is left as an exercise for the reader.
