Until you hit a bug. The one that killed us was we had to deploy a registry fix to 2000 workstations at hundreds of companies because they broke ClickOnce in IE9 and later. It still isn't fixed today. We still have to eat the administrative cost. Over time, that's a shit ton of cash leaked out on a mistake the vendor has made.
I can't believe an company so vested in the enterprise market can do such a terrible job of allowing companies to deploy enterprise software. Click once isn't supported in VS anymore, and was always horrible when it came to things like CI servers anyway. Windows 10 store requires running on azure which make it a no go, doesn't allow push updates anyway. The best options have always been third party ones like chocolatey or NSIS, but they are limited as well, chocolatey does not allow push based and NSIS is pretty weird.
19 years after the first release of apt-get and I'm still waiting for MS to give me something half as good.

Clickonce is such garbage. I'm sorry I ever heard of it.

That too!
But it never matures. You are stuck with half-assed stuff in many cases.
...sometimes to the extent where the hospitals in your country get crippled by malware :-/
