Re: ClickOnce Nightmares

Hi,

Check the security permissions of your ClickOnce app. From what I gather,
your app is running ok locally but it is failing from the network location,
this would suggest security issues.
If there are security issues you need to create an .MSI file with the
security permissions that your ClickOnce needs.

As per setup.exe, just copy one from the location where VS2005 has created
it, since it is the same setup.exe (if you check the creation date of the
setup.exe file you will see that it is quite old). I think the setup.exe is
just a bootstrapper to allow you t install .NET 2.0 and other pre-requisites
for your ClickOnce app.

Hope this helps

I'm trying to deploy a clickonce application using the command line (so
that I can have it in a batch process). I have the following
problems/questions. Please, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

I've managed to deploy the application using the instructions by
microsoft, here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc3tc5xx.aspx

This is all peachy keen. Works fine except...

1 - There is no "setup.exe" file as occurs when deploying through the
IDE. Why is this and can I get one?

2 - It cannot deploy over the network. Only locally (in other words,
installing from \\mycomputer\public fails, but c:\public succeeds).

3 - When it is installed it doesn't give me an icon in the
"Start\Programs" menu nor is it listed in the "Add/Remove Programs"
when installed. I was wondering, somewhat, if it actually installed at
all except that on install it runs (as it has been instructed to do)
and the exe is installed in my user directory.

Please help. What am I missing? If you have any questions feel free to
ask. I need to get this out the door soon so I will be checking this
post regularly.

tia,

rts.
