Problems using MsBuild using command line for Publish Click Once - msbuild

Question

I have Windows application in csproj in my solution, and I want generate Publish using command line (bat, cmd).
My script is (I put \r\n for better reading):
SET MSBUILD="%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe"
SET CARWIN="..\..\Security.CarWin.csproj"
rem msbuild para publish
%MSBUILD% /target:rebuild;publish %CARWIN%
/p:ApplicationVersion="1.0.0.0"
/p:Configuration=release
/p:PublishUrl="C:\ClickOnce\CarWin.WebInstall\Publicacion\"
/p:InstallUrl="http://desserver/carwinclickonce/Publicacion/"
/p:PublishDir="C:\ClickOnce\CarWin.WebInstall\Publicacion\"
note: I'll try too using /target:publish
But in path PublishDir or PublishUrl (C:\ClickOnce\CarWin.WebInstall\Publicacion) not generates any files.
I have seen many posts in this site and google but I not found any solution.

Answer 1

Use PublishDir instead of PublishUrl when running from command line.
msbuild /target:publish /p:Configuration=Release;PublishDir=c:\playground\
You can also change version, like ApplicationRevision=666;MinimumRequiredVersion=1.1

Take a look at this Stack Overflow question. Basically the PublishUrl property is ignored when running ClickOnce from the command line. But you can easily add the behaviour with an additional MSBuild-task.
I've created an additional MSBuild-File, for example a build.csproj. This contains a publish-task. This task first invokes the regular MS-Build of the target-project. Afterwards it copies the result to the publish-directory. Now I invoke the 'build.csproj' instead of the reguar project-file from the command-line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Publish" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<!-- project name-->
<ProjectName>MyExampleProject</ProjectName>
<!--properties for the project-build-->
<DefaultBuildProperties>Configuration=Release</DefaultBuildProperties>
<!-- location of the click-once stuff, relative to the project -->
<ProjectPublishLocation>.\bin\Release\app.publish</ProjectPublishLocation>
<!-- Location you want to copy the click-once-deployment. Here an windows-share-->
<ProjectClickOnceFolder>\\TargetServer\deployments</ProjectClickOnceFolder>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="Publish" DependsOnTargets="Clean">
<Message Text="Publish-Build started for build no $(ApplicationRevision)" />
<!-- run the original build of the project -->
<MSBuild Projects="./$(ProjectName).csproj"
Properties="$(DefaultBuildProperties)"
Targets="Publish"/>
<!-- define the files required for click-once-->
<ItemGroup>
<SetupFiles Include="$(ProjectPublishLocation)\*.*"/>
<UpdateFiles Include="$(ProjectPublishLocation)\Application Files\**\*.*"/>
</ItemGroup>
<!-- and copy them -->
<Copy
SourceFiles="#(SetupFiles)"
DestinationFolder="$(ProjectClickOnceFolder)\"/>
<Copy
SourceFiles="#(UpdateFiles)"
DestinationFolder="$(ProjectClickOnceFolder)\Application Files\%(RecursiveDir)"/>
</Target>
<Target Name="Clean">
<Message Text="Clean project" />
<MSBuild Projects="./$(ProjectName).csproj"
Properties="$(DefaultBuildProperties)"
Targets="Clean"/>
</Target>
</Project>

I don't know if this is a problem, but I noticed that you pass the /target parameter twice?
you could you use a semi-colon delimited example:
/target:rebuild;publish
MSDN Documentation on command line parameters and MSBuild
If that also does not work you could perhaps try to debug it by passing
/verbosity:diag
