VS 2010 ClickOnce - Specify URL for Offline Installation?

Question

I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition on a Win7 machine. I want to install a program using ClickOnce so that it will be available offline (available in my Start Menu). I have set the Publishing Folder to a location on my hard drive. I set the install mode to "Application is available offline as well (launchable from Start Menu). When I select Publish Now, I get the message "Please specify and install URL."

Why will it not install to the Publishing Folder? How do I correct this?

Answer 1

The publishing file location is where you want to publish the application to.

The installation URL is where you want to install it from.

You might publish it to a folder on your C drive, then put it on a webserver. That's why those two are different.
