I've used ClickOnce a lot over the years, but I have run up against a lot of its limitations. What alternatives are there for web deployment?
So far the only one I've been able to turn up is ClickThrough, which is part of WiX now on the back burner. Are there others that have had success?

ClickOnce and DirectInvoke are supported out of the box for all Windows users. Users that want to disable ClickOnce support can go to edge://flags/#edge-click-once and select Disabled from the dropdown list. You'll have to Restart the browser.
Windows Installer deployment requires administrative permissions and allows only limited user installation; ClickOnce deployment enables non-administrative users to install and grants only those Code Access Security permissions necessary for the application.
From the user's point of view, ClickOnce applications can be launched in two ways: From a web page on the Internet, intranet or local computer. The web page includes a link to the application deployment manifest (. application), a click on which installs and launches the application on the user's computer.
To disable ClickOnce security settings With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu, click Properties. Click the Security tab. Clear the Enable ClickOnce Security Settings check box.
Squirrel: It's like ClickOnce, but it works.
Squirrel is both a set of tools and a library, to completely manage both installation and updating your desktop Windows application, written in either C# or any other language (that is, Squirrel can manage native C++ applications).
Squirrel uses NuGet packages to create installation and update packages, which means that you probably already know most of what you need to create an installer.
