Release Packaging

Overview

Prepare secure, updateable installers for desktop distribution.

Definition of done (DoD)

  • MSIX or ClickOnce manifest configured with correct identity
  • Release builds signed with valid certificate
  • Auto-update URL configured and tested
  • Version number incremented in publish profile
  • Installer tested on clean machine (no dev tools)
  • Uninstall leaves no orphan files/registry entries

Workflow

  1. Choose packaging method (MSIX or ClickOnce).
  2. Configure signing certificate and pipeline secrets.
  3. Set update channel and feed location.
  4. Produce release artifacts and verify install.

Guidance

  • Prefer MSIX for modern deployment if available.
  • Keep ClickOnce for legacy environments.
  • Always sign release builds.
