To make a ClickOnce application available to users, you must publish it to a Web server, file share, or removable media. You can publish the application by using the Publish Wizard; additional properties related to publishing are available on the Publish page of the Project Designer.
Publish properties can be set using the Publish Wizard but only a few of the properties are available in it, all other properties are set to their default values.
You can publish the application to a Web site, FTP server, or file path. First you have to say if the application is available offline or not online only. If you select The application is available online only , then it will be run directly from the publish location without creating a shortcut on thestart menu.
Otherwise the application will be available even if a user is disconnected from the network and a shortcut will be available on start menu.
Also you can click on Prerequisites.. The prerequisite dialog is the same as the one explained above in windows installer. Father more, if you set your application to be available offline, you can set application updates either automatically or programmatically. Also you can configure the application to check for updates automatically before the application starts, or at set intervals after the application starts.
To increase publish version, increase major, minor, build or revision version number according to what updates you have made! Changing the number in these fields causes the application to be published as an update. Then click on Publish Now to publish your application after making sure that all settings of your application have already been set correctly. ClickOnce security relies on Authenticode certificates to determine whether an application should be installed, a step known as a trust decision.
Application and deployment manifests that describe an application can be signed with a certificate to prevent tampering. Domain administrators can configure certificates to be trusted at the enterprise or machine level.
If certificates are not trusted at the time of installation, ClickOnce deployment can be configured to ask users to make trust decisions. Once an application is installed, ClickOnce restricts the application permissions and actions as defined by the Internet, Local Intranet, or custom zones.

I know I can hard code the default path to point to my Documents and Settings personal AddIn folder but two issues. First, I dont know what predefined directory path variables to put in to go to that folder, and second even if I did put in the proper predefined directory the AddIn will only be available for me on my machine right?
What would my DefaultLocation string look like to install my AddIn into the proper global user directory so all users of the machine it is installed on will be able to see Add In?
