During testing ClickOnce-Deployment i wondered that in my start-menu an “application reference” is created which has no link-reference to the application which is installed at the client.

Only references to the server which offers the applicaton are listed. It seems there is some magic in the ClickOnce-client-engine of .NET-FW 2.0

After searching in my user-profile i found the application under ..\Local Settings\Apps\2.0.. in a randomly named folder.

BTW: uninstalling is done by: rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,ShArpMaintain .application, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=…, processorArchitecture=msil this pops up an uninstall dialog ….
