What I have found is that if you answer Yes to the prompt that after subsequent attempts to change the URL you will no longer get the prompt. This still isn't acceptable for automated build scripts though. Supposedly this was supposed to be fixed in Visual Studio 2008 but I can still reproduce it and it seems that others are having the same issue still as well. In order to get some official response I've posted a new bug report on the Microsoft Feedback Center for Visual Studio. Please follow the link below and vote, comment, or just track the progress of this issue if you are interested in seeing this fixed. I created a new bug report on the Microsoft Feedback Center site to help try to get the -url= parameter to work in a silent manner. If anybody is interested in voting in order to get this issue addressed or to just follow the progress please follow the link below.

I believe message boxes were ok in our setup because the person installing it would need to choose the correct deployment URL in popup no matter what (so answering other popups might have been ok). However, I would think there has to be a way for a vbscript or a powershell script even to somehow answer/suppress popups. Please share your experiences, as thousands of people have come to this page for click once install help (so your experiences are helping people). Cheers, Jon Hey all,

This certainly did not exist when I took the steps that I took in my post. People who find my post I'm sure will be grateful for the link. Cheers, Jon Hi John,

This is similar how my publishing process works, although I am using msbuild instead of NAnt. How do you write the version numbers into files? Is there a task for this in NAnt?
