New user wybuild installer question

I am a little confused can wyBuild/wyUpdate be used to make a standalone installer for new clients (i.e first time install) or is it limited to updates?

Hey Andrew,

Right now, wyBuild, wyUpdate, and the AutomaticUpdater are focused exclusively on creating updates & patches. We'll support creating installers in the future. In the meantime we recommend using NSIS, Inno Setup, or WiX to create your installer.

Thanks that's good to know. I am very impressed with the wybuild as a updater and patcher.

The problem I have is that I have a .NET application which needs to have a option to install for "all users" the problem is that with all users I need to have a shared SQL CE database. I believe this is outside the scope of Click Once.

Therefore, I am a little confused to which directories I should be using, should to main program be in Program Files and the database in %programdata% (vista\7) or All Users\Application Data (XP)?

PS needs to run on XP -7, unbreakable in terms of DLLs for SQL CE etc and easy to update..

That's exactly right.
