In a non-silent or "attended installation," the user is prompted to select or confirm these options during the installation process. In a silent install, these items are selected automatically and the installer runs from start to finish without requiring any user input. How to create a custom installer that silently installs a ClickOnce application In your ClickOnce application, add references to System.Deployment and System.Windows.Forms.  Add a new class to your application and specify any name. This walkthrough uses the name MyInstaller.  Add the following Imports or using statements to the top of your new class.  Add the following(see the attached images of MyInstaller.cs) methods to your class.

ClickOnce Technology is Windows application publishing technology which can be used for any Windows Presentation Foundation (.xbap), Windows Forms (.exe), console application (.exe), or Office solution (.dll). Applications which is published using ClickOnce technology is called ClickOnce application. ClickOnce applications can be self-updating; they can check for newer versions as they become available and automatically replace any updated files. The developer can specify the update behavior; a network administrator can also control update strategies for example, marking an update as mandatory. Updates can also be rolled back to an earlier version by the end user or by an administrator. ClickOnce applications are self-contained; each ClickOnce application is installed to and run from a secure per-user, per-application cache. ClickOnce applications run in the Internet or Intranet security zones. If necessary, the application can request elevated security permission...

How Software Development Technology are Connected

Technologies cluster together into related ecosystems that tend to be used by the same developers. In this chart we see a large central cluster for web development (with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) connected via SQL to one for Microsoft technologies (with C#, Visual Studio, and .NET Core). Along the left we see a constellation connecting Java, Android, and iOS across to Linux, bash/shell, and Python. Other smaller correlated clusters include Scala/Spark, C/C++, and other smaller technologies that include language-specific IDEs. Source:- stackoverflow.com
