WPF Application Publishing Guide

When publishing WPF applications, ask the user about deployment and installer preferences.


Ask User: Deployment Method

Which deployment method do you need?

  1. Framework-Dependent – Small size (~1MB), requires .NET runtime
  2. Self-Contained – Includes runtime (150-200MB), no dependencies
  3. Single-File – One executable (50-80MB compressed)

Ask User: Installer Technology

Which installer/update technology do you prefer?

  1. Velopack (Recommended) – Modern, fast updates, delta updates
  2. MSIX – Windows Store, enterprise deployment
  3. NSIS – Traditional installer, full control
  4. Inno Setup – Simple, widely used
  5. None – Portable/xcopy deployment

Quick Reference

Deployment Methods

Method Size Startup Requirements
Framework-Dependent ~1MB Fast .NET runtime
Self-Contained 150-200MB Fast None
Single-File 150-200MB Medium None
Single-File + Compressed 50-80MB Slower None

Installer Technologies

Technology Auto-Update Delta Updates Store Complexity
Velopack ✅ ✅ ❌ Low
MSIX ✅ ✅ ✅ Medium
NSIS Manual ❌ ❌ High
Inno Setup Manual ❌ ❌ Medium

WPF Limitations

⚠️ PublishTrimmed: Not supported (reflection-heavy) ⚠️ PublishAot: Not supported (WPF incompatible)

# Framework-Dependent
dotnet publish -c Release

# Self-Contained
