I know of ClickOnce which creates an .exe file so a user can play my XNA game.

However, I have to manually go through a wizard in order to create this file.

I would like for the new .exe to be created upon a successful commit of the code to GIT (ie. all my tests pass and the build succeeds) and for this file to be deployed on my Amazon AWS server so users can instantly download the 'new version' each commit.

Is this possible? I've been taking a look at Jenkins which seems to do what I want (Automated builds) but seems as though it's only for JAVA software.

Thanks for any info :)

You want a git post-commit or post-push hook to invoke your build chain automatically every-time those things happen.

(Or you could use Jenkins? Same thing, but more complex. Though you might like those features.)

Simply google "automated clickonce" to see that click once is not intended to be automated. You need another tool for that. msbuild, which is what visual studio uses internally, can build visual studio projects on the command line.
