The .NET Client Profile ( 2 )

Following on from this post I wanted to see if I could get my Client Profile installation to work with ClickOnce. To be honest, I struggled quite a bit with this. Sticking with my "Hello World" WPF application, I made sure that on the Publish tab of my projects...

The .NET Client Profile

If you're building something like a .NET WPF client application then one of the major bugbears (for both you and for Microsoft - let's be honest here :-)) is trying to get the .NET Framework on to the client machine. We're trying to make this easier but if...
