How do I change the deployment provider URL in the ClickOnce manifest file?

Question

(Disclaimer: I am using the Japanese version of Visual Studio 2005, and although I literally translated the menu names of my Visual Studio into English, this will probably differ from how they are actually in the original release)

In any case, I am trying to publish the ClickOnce application on the server, but the generated manifest file (.application) has a value in the codePowerider attribute of the scanner, which I cannot change at all.

<deploymentProvider codebase="http://foo.jp/foo/ClickOnce/fooApp.application" /> 

I expected the value to be changed by placing the path in a field where we could indicate the path to the location (I mean, Solution Explore -> Property -> Publish tub -> Publish Location), but can I miss something else?

Of course, I can manually change it on my NotePad, but I do not think this is normal behavior!

Answer 1

There is a Mage or MageUI utility that Microsoft provides for editing and managing the manifest for deploying clickonce. I mainly used it to modify and re-sign the applications that I needed to deploy to a remote location.

Answer 2

Go to Project Properties (dbl-click on "Properties" in Solution Explorer).

Click the Publish tab. Change the configuration.
