Re: ClickOnce Apps Directory Structure

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


This was created as a vb.net 2005 solution with one project with one application.

There is absolutely no relationship between the directory structure on the web site I published to
and the installation directories on a machine that installed via the published web site.

The published web site has:
application name\
with the following files under it:
setup.exe
application name_major_minor_buld_revision.application
application name.application
publish.htm
application name_major_minor_buld_revision\
with the following files under it:
icon name.ICO.deploy
application name.exe.config.deploy
application name.exe.deploy
application name.exe.manifest

There were no ClickOnce applications installed on the test machine before this one. The ClickOnce
application created (under the ..\local settings\apps\2.0\ directory):
Data\
5MZTD7YN.WZP\LN95ZK9L.54V\
sabb..tion_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_e5ebe96eff2a1d2c\
Data\
1.0.3471.41962\
user.config
XOOJ71X5.NXD\
TYZBEX0T.LRT\
manifests\
with the following files under it:
sabb...exe_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_b5c39952d5cb1fbe.cdf-ms
sabb...exe_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_b5c39952d5cb1fbe.manifest
sabb..show_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_329f5e440f1aade0.cdf-ms
sabb..show_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_329f5e440f1aade0.manifest
sabb..tion_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_4421a3e61eac970f.cdf-ms
sabb..tion_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_4421a3e61eac970f.manifest
sabb...exe_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_b5c39952d5cb1fbe\
with the following files under it:
icon name.ico
application name.exe.config
sabb..show_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_none_329f5e440f1aade0\
with the following file under it:
application name.exe
sabb..tion_138c5e6214942aec_0001.0000_e5ebe96eff2a1d2c\
with the following files under it:
icon name.ICO
application name.cdf-ms
application name.exe
application name.exe.cdf-ms
application name.exe.config
application name.exe.manifest
application name.manifest

Is there any documentation on the installation machine's directory structure under ..\local
settings\apps\2.0? Why are there two identical copies of the application name.exe, icon name.ico
and application name.exe.config files?

Hi Stewart,

Thank you for your prompt reply!

The installation directory structure is the same as the publish directory
structure.

How do you publish the ClickOnce application?

If you publish within Visual Studio 2005, the publish/installation
directory structure should be what is described in the
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480721.aspx#adminc_topic20.
