I have a WPF App and I'm using ClickOnce as deployment strategy. Everything works fine, but I have a file size issue. My application weighs about 36MB, so every update my users have to download this file size, increasing the network bandwidth use.
But, almost 25MB don't get changed because they belong to third party components.
I was thinking about creating a custom deployment strategy: For example, filtering only the dlls that don't change and only download the ones I want (maybe zipped) and I would update the installation folder.
I know that could sound unpractical, so are there any suggestions about how to improve the deployment size and minimize my down-time?
