You could install with the Windows 10 Store, ClickOnce or Chocolatey. The Windows Store is the prefered version for Windows 10 Anniversary Update and later.
Anniversary Update and later:
Chocolatey is another great way to install and update your application.
- Run Powershell (as Admin)
- Install Chocolatey:
iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex - Install NPE:
choco install nugetpackageexplorer
This is legacy. There a lot of install issues with ClickOnce. Also you get a smartscreen error.
Latest clickonce release (uninstall first if previous version is 3.9 or lower)
NuGet Package Explorer is aapplication that makes it easy to create and explore NuGet packages. After installing it, you can double click on a .nupkg file to view the package content, or you can load packages directly from nuget feeds like nuget.org.
To build packages from the command line, use the NuGet command-line tools, which are documented on the official NuGet site.
Currently NPE isn't activly developed, but we do accept (not too large) pull requests (PR).

Open the files you want to include in the package in Windows explorer, then drag them into the Package contents pane of Package Explorer. Package Explorer will attempt to infer where the content belongs and prompt you to place it in the correct directory within the package. (You can also explicitly add specific folders using the Content menu.)
For example, if you drag an assembly into the Package contents window, it will prompt you to place the assembly in the lib folder:
-
Save your package with File > Save (Ctrl-S).

Paste your API key intp Publish key and click Publish to push the package to nuget.org.
-
In your profile on nuget.org, click Manage my packages to see the one that you just published; you'll also receive a confirmation email. Note that it might take a while for your package to be indexed and appear in search results, during which time you'll see a message that the package hasn't yet been indexed.
