I have CruiseControl.NET Version 1.4 set up on my development server. Whenever a developer checks in code, it makes a compile.
Now we're at a place where we can start giving our application to the testers. We'd like to use ClickOnce to distribute the application, with the idea being that when a tester goes to test the application, they have the latest build.
I can't find a way to make that happen with CruiseControl.NET. We're using MSBUILD to perform the builds.

We've done this and can give you some pointers to start.
2 things you should be aware of:
To use MSBuild to generate the ClickOnce manifests, here's the command you'll need to issue:
That will tell MSBuild to build your project and generate ClickOnce deployment files inside the bin\Release\YourProject.publish directory.
All that's left is to copy those files to the FTP/UNC share/wherever, and you're all set.
You can tell CruiseControl.NET to build using those MSBuild parameters.
You'll then need a CruiseControl.NET build task to take the generated deployment files and copy them to the FTP or UNC share. We use a custom little C# console program for this, but you could just as easily use a Powershell script.
