ClickOnce custom prerequisite problem with installation

Question

I have created custom prerequisite setup project for ClickOnce and it is among the other prerequisites in publish tab of the project. But when i try to install my app via ClickOnce(with setup button) it runs prerequisite setup, and asks if i want to install it. I click "install" and the following error appears:

The following package files could not be found: C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\U2R49322\FontPrerequisite\setupfont.msi

When i launch the application-it installs it, but without prerequisite. What can cause the problem?

Answer 1

This is a wild guess, but I would assume that you've specified that the user should download the prerequisite from the vendors site. Open the Prerequisites dialog and select your prerequisite. Click on the option that states Download prerequisite from the same location as my application. (See the screen shot below)

This should bundle your prereq with your application deployment. Hope that helps.
