What did you find missing? I thought the sys deployment namespace covered a great deal of scenarios?

I started using ClickOnce in my project last month.. I used the dynamic updates from code.. #1. No way to get the list of latest modules.. I was tying to implement the Firefox-Plugin auto-update style in my application.. I wanted to show the list of updated modules that suppose to be downloaded. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the list of updated modules through code.... My question posted in my MSDN Forum : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2232226&SiteID=1[^] #2. The version of the whole application need to be updated if we wanna update just one module It's really suck about ClickOnce... If we wanna update just one module, we will need to change the version of application (e.g. "shell.application" ) and the version of manifest (shell.manifest)... i dont really like that thing.. #3. ClickOnce doesn't care about the version of assemblies. I don't understand why ClickOnce doesn't care about the version of assemblies. What it cares about the version of *.application, the verison of manifest and the file hash of each assemblies... I dont think that it's is very good idea... #4. DownloadFileGroup ("") works only if "optional" is checked. There is no way to download the group of file by force Why "optional" need to be checked in order to make DownloadFileGroup work..... What I wanna do is that I wanna the application ( all file groups) to be downloaded at the first time.. later, I wanna download a particular group of files by force.. if I can download the group of file by force, I don't need to change the version of the whole file for updating new module.. My question in MSDN forum. : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2279424&SiteID=1[^]
