There's a lot of things wrong with ClickOnce. IIRC chrome's installer only uses clickonce as a bootstrapping mechanism for the _actual_ installer.

Problems:

* Can't choose installation path * No offline installation * Hard (impossible?) to use with a CDN.

Here's an example of how to turn a directory of precompiled binaries into a click once package using powershell:

My powershell isn't _great_, so forgive any powershell oddities, but notice how much you have to massage the output of the mage tools to actually get it to do what you want.
