    I'm pretty sure that's dang near the same thing as installing for all users. ClickOnce is a per-user installation. If you want a bunch of people to use the same instance, they all have to log on to the machine with the same windows account. Every windows account will have a separate ClickOnce instance no matter what. No way to work around it.

    ClickOnce is a per-user installation. If you want multiple people on a machine to be able to run the application, they each have to install it.
