I published a clickonce application and a couple new versions.
I was wondering what is the purpose of the
WinClickOnce_1_0_0_0.application
WinClickOnce_1_0_0_1.application
files on the web server is.

It looks like only the
WinClickOnce.application
file is used (maybe for rollback of versions).

Hi Chuck,

The WinClickOnce_1_0_0_0.application and WinClickOnce_1_0_0_1.application
files on the web server are backup deployment manifests.

The purpose of these backup deployment manifests is for server side
rollback. If you want clients to go back to a particular version you
copy/rename the versioned file back to main file
(WinClickonce.application). All clients will detect this as an "update"
(even though version number will be lower) and will download and run this
version. You would never actually point a user directly to these files.

Hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any other concerns or need anything else, please don't hesitate
to let me know.
