Following instructions in this link to deploy with Clickonce: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/deployment/quickstart-deploy-using-clickonce-folder?view=vs-2019

I right click in the project and select Publish, and the Publish wizard opens, with the "Target" tab selected as expected, and I select "Folder" option. Then, when I click the "Next" button, it does not appear the "Specific tab", but it goes directly to "Publish location" tab. The problem with this is that I cannot select "Clickonce" anywhere because I do not see the "Specific target" tab, so there is no "Install location", "Settings", "Sign manifests" or "Configuration" tabs.

This is the expected tab that not appears: enter image description here

And this is the screen I see (sorry, it is in Spanish): enter image description here

It is a .NET Framework 4.8 project.

Why is Clickonce missing? What can I do to get the right screen in the wizard so I can use Clickonce?

Thank you

UPDATE: I have tried to update to .NET 5, and then magically ClickOnce appears in the Publish wizard. So, how can I use ClickOnce with net48 in a SDK scheme project? Any help?

The "expected tab" is the update content for .NET Core & .NET 5. As you said, when you update the target framework to .NET 5, the tab will be shown.

If you are developing with .NET Framework 4.8, you still can right-click the project and click Publish. Because it will be published via ClickOnce bu default.

Or follow the steps Project => Properties => Publish.
