Is there a way to set a custom publish path for ClickOnce? The hosting i have doesn't support spaces in paths and the "Application Files" folder where the files get published has a space. If i just change the codebase path in the .application file, the application won't even get past the "checking for updates" part when it loads.

Did you try using the Publish wizard? There should be an "Where do you want to publish the application?" when you run this wizard.

Ya, you can set the root folder where the files go. In that folder it puts the <app name="">.Application, index.html, etc... files. The actually application data gets put into a sub folder called "Application Files".

Never tried it but when you publish the application, the "Application Files" folder is defined in the deployment manifest (the file SomeApplication.application), so you can change it manually. The downside is that it's generated again every time you publish.

So perhaps a better way to do this would be to make the publish manually using Mage. For details, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc3tc5xx.aspx[^]
