I just read Configuring ClickOnce Trusted Publishers and got it running at another computer on network. I deployed the application on network itself (that is, \\\abc\something
).
Though I could not find certmgr.exe as part of Windows core component, as the article says (..so you will need to use the certificate management console (certmgr.exe) included in Windows..), I instead found it at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin". It worked fine, but did I miss something? I mean, what if the user did not have Visual Studio installed?
Now, I had to explicitly go and get this thing done (that is, importing the certificate using certmgr.exe) on the user/client's computer on the network. Is there a way to automate it? Where I do nothing explicitly and when the user clicks setup.exe
in the deployed application on the network (\\\abc\something
), he/she can install the same without getting security-based prompts.
I checked out BOOTSTRAP, but I could not exactly understand how to use it, HERE? I thought of pasting the certificate at its appropriate location (thought that importing the certificate using certmgr.exe
pastes it somewhere on the disk? In some "personal" directory)?
In gist, I want to automate the process where user can install the application from network (\\\abc\something
) without security/trust prompts. And I as a developer need
not explicitly import the certificate in his/her/user/client's computer.
