ClickTwice deployment without central server

I have a client who deploy the application (server and the plugins) to local networks of their customers. They are asking for an auto-update capability and they want to walk away from ClickOnce. The plugins are built with Add-in Express, so I would naturally suggest ClickTwice, however I am unsure how to make the update url fully configurable for the installation. It is possible to have the url distributed say via a registry entry, so that the initial ClickTwice bootstrapper would query an URL unique to each company where the application is distributed? Or am I missing something?

Hello Stan,

You specify the url at the publication time. Any change after that moment requires you to digitally resign the downloader and updater. This is why you need to create a publication per client. In the case of a local network, the target folder must have the same path.

I wonder if I answer your question.
