.NET Framework Assistant

Funny that, I don't remember okaying that particular choice, but anyway. I'm about to install SP1 on another machine, so I'll look out for it.

ClickOnce Client Application Deployment Improvements

  • ...blah blah...
  • FireFox browser extension to support Clickonce installations using FireFox browsers

Just a friendly heads-up from your homies at DevExpress...
