votes

I am considering using ClickOnce for a legacy Windows Forms application. I have several questions related to ClickOnce itself.

  1. Does a user need administrative privelages to install the ClickOnce application?
  2. Can the ClickOnce application access the local file system?
  3. When does an end-user experience security prompts?
  4. Can the application be served over https://?
  5. Can the application make calls to services hosted on https://?
  6. Can the application be served over SSL?

  4. Yes
  5. Yes
  6. See #4? I'm not sure what you're asking, HTTPS = HTTP over SSL
