Clickonce Bootstrapper exe generation through Octopus

[kalpeshah (Kalpesh)]

Hello,

I have been using following community template to create clickonce package through Octopus.

ClickOnce - Create from deployed package

How do i get it to generate bootstrapper - setup.exe through this script ?

Can some one help please ?

Thanks

Hi Kalpesh,

From my research, the setup.exe bootstrapper is usually created at build time, before the click-once package. See this tutorial and this SO post for further details.

If you need to do it at deploy time, I suggest working out how you can create one locally using PowerShell and then modifying the step template with that process. You can see the implementation of the step in your Octopus Server’s Library -> Step Templates section or in the community library
