When using the Publish Application option in a Windows form application
in VS.Net 2005 to a file share, the client successfully installed it on
their pc and can run the application. However the application.exe file
can not be found on the pc and the start menu shortcut does contain a
string that has file share\MyApp.application,plus some other settings.
The publish option available offline was used.
Using this deployment method where is the executable file located that
the client uses?
Is it possible to install the executable file on the client pc using
the publish deployment method?

You will find the application location in the following path:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\PublisherName

ClickOnce or as you say Published applications are a bit different than MSI
installation applications.  If you would like a complete explanation of how they
work, Try looking at "Smart Client Deployment and ClickOnce" by Brian Noyes.
Published by Addison Wesley.  Or search for ClickOnce at http://www.msdn2.com.

Good luck with your project,

There is nothing in the application data folder related to the
application.

I am just reading the following MSDN article about ClickOnce which may
explain the new features
