Click Once Deployment

With "Click Once Deployment" deploying a client application couldn't be easier. A simple setup that is deployed from a website is created automatically for you. You can also attach dependencies such as the .Net Framework. Updates can also be published and the client will automatically update to the latest version on the server.

One major issue that I ran into is that "click once" currently only works in Internet Explorer. I was upset that they would exclude such a major feature. This is a crippling issue for external applications and even a glaring issue for internal applications (with IE only environments).

Despite it's current drawbacks, it is exciting to see the power that they have built into .NET 2.0.
