Disable Publishing in MSBuild

I solved the problem by unchecking 'Sign ClickOnce Manifests' in the 'Signing' tab as well as 'Enable ClickOnce security settings' in the 'Security' tab.


2 ways to do it,

  • Go to the web project and click on properties, go to the 'Package/Publish Web' tab and uncheck the option

  • Over ride it from your build definition, click edit on your build defination, go to process tab and expand advanced and pass the following argument /P:CreatePackageOnPublish=false

For WinForms Windows Application

Then uncheck 'Enable ClickOnce security settings'
