I have a Wix setup created for my windows form application and i have a server to publish it . Earlier projects were published using ClickOnce application. Can i do that with my Wix setup too where the setup created would be integrated with the clickonce application. The user will click on the url and it will download only the setup.exe and when clicked on it , it will install the application according to the setting done in wix. I dont even know if the question is correct.

I figured you can't do that. WiX and ClickOnce are different ways of deploying the applications. I Found a good deal of info from the msdn page. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/142dbbz4(v=vs.90).aspx - ketan Shah

You cannot do that.

"ClickOnce application is any Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Forms, or console application published using ClickOnce technology. You can publish a ClickOnce application in three different ways: from a Web page, from a network file share, or from media such as a CD-ROM."
