Question

I am not getting a WPF application .exe file from a shared folder using ClickOnce even thought I have unchecked it.

Owsen, Craig 21

I am trying to publish a WPF application using BlazorWebViews (which I don't think should matter) in a shared folder. I am using ClickOne and have uncheck Make available offline. But I am not getting a WPF application .exe file to launch the application.

All I get is a setup.exe:

Where as in the past I got an application .exe to launch the WPF application.

Hi, @Owsen, Craig . Is it possible to show the steps of your publish? What is the target platform of your project?

Hi, @Owsen, Craig . I also don't get the application .exe file when I publish the application through ClickOnce. What steps did you take to get the application .exe file?

I got an application .exe with the old fashion WPF; but get the startup.exe when using the new procedures for WPF BlazorWebView. One of the main changes for BlazorWebView is that you set <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor"> in the .csproj file. I want my users to be able to launch the app from a shared folder without having to install it on their computers. This WPF BlazorWebView is just a fallback because MAUI Blazor Windows Desktop does not support ClickOnce and launching the app from a shared folder!
