According to Google no and no here too.

You would have to look into alternative installer tools such as creating an MSI installer. It sounds strange, but my first idea to tackle install size would be to have two installers. One to install dependencies into the GAC that the users only have to run once, and another installer (that I guess could use ClickOnce) to install the actual application. Using this method, you could theoretically rely on the smaller ClickOnce deployment for all future app updates.
