effect of changing click once application publish location on clients machines

Question

ok, i have a windows forms application published using click once to
"http://MyDevComputer1/DevPublishFolder/". so the deployement link is, http://MyDevComputer1/DevPublishFolder/publish.htm. The application is already deployed to close to 20 machines in the company intranet. I now have a requirement to change the publish location to a different server in the same network but i'm just not sure how this change will affect the users who already have the application installed on their clent machines. \

The question is, how do i make sure the application detects that the publish location has been changed to a different server during the next application start up on client machines,

Or must i go and unstall the application the client machines, then re-install from the new publish location?

Answer 1

• Go to the Publish tab and click the Updates button.
• Add the new URL to Update Location dropdown list and click ok
• Publish

Once all of the clients have received the new version, they will look to the new URL (and your new server) for all future updates.
