Generally when I use ClickOnce when I build a VB.NET program but it has a few downsides. I've never really used anything else, so I'm not sure what my options are. Downsides to ClickOnce: Consists of multiple files - Seems easier to distribute one file than manageing a bunch of file and the downloader to download those files. You have...
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, t...
Our team develops distributed winform apps. We use ClickOnce for deployment and are very pleased with it. However, we've found the pain point with ClickOnce is in creating the deployments. We have the standard dev/test/production environments and need to be able to create deployments for each of these that install and update separate ...
Every time I publish the Application in Click Once I get get it to update the revision number by one. Is there any way to get this change automatically to change the version number in AssemblyInfo.cs file (all our error reporting looks at the Assembly Version). ...
Is there any way to disallow publishing of debug builds with ClickOnce? I only want to allow Release builds through, but right now human error causes a debug build to slip in once in a while. Edit: Sorry, should've mentioned that we're publishing the build from within Visual Studio. ...
Is it possible to deploy a native Delphi application with ClickOnce without a stub C# exe that would be used to launch the Delphi application? The same question applies to VB6, C++ and other native Windows applications. ...
We have an application that works with MS Office and uses Microsoft.mshtml.dll. We use ClickOnce to deploy the application. The application deploys without issues on most machines, but sometimes we get errors saying "System Update Required, Microsoft.mshtl.dll should be in the GAC". We tried installing the PIA for Office without luck. ...
I have users who are using "secure-wave" security. Evidently it is some sort of white-listing application monitor. With my click-once application, the name of the folders that are used are runtime generated, so the administrators are not able to properly whitelist the application and its files. Any suggestions? ...
If I understand correctly, ClickOnce only checks for prerequisites with the first install of an application through the setup.exe file that contains the prerequisite information. If the user opens the app in the future it will check for new versions, but it does not launch the setup.exe again, thus not checking for any NEW prerequisites ...
I have a application deployed through clickonce, but How can I modify the config file on the deployment server?. I mean, once the product is tested, it should be deployed in our production server, but need to modify some of the config parameters to consume production resources?. I heard we should use MageUI.exe, but still not sure. I ...
We're testing our ClickOnce deployed application internally on IIS (Internet Information Services), but we're wondering if we can deploy it to the wider internet using Apache on Linux so we can make use of our existing external website host. If so, is there anything else I need to consider other than as specifying the correct mime types...
I've attempted just about everything to get our ClickOnce VB.NET app to run under Terminal Services as a RemoteApp. I have a batch file that runs the .application file for the app. This works fine via RDP desktop session on the terminal server. As a TS RemoteApp, however, well... not so much. I get a quick flash of command prompt (th...
I have a problem with a Clickonce deplyment of a Winforms app. When i built the new setup, and tried to export it overwriting as usual the previous setup, Visual Studio came up stating that my certificate is expired. This behaviour is described here and there is a workaround here. But these solutions are not applicable in my situation. ...
My ClickOnce application uses a third party tool that requires the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable. The third party tool will not work if only the VC++ 2008 redistributable is installed. However, in Visual Studio 2008, the ClickOnce prerequisites do not allow a version to be specified for the VC++ redistributable; it will add a VC++ 2008...
I am a developer for a .net application that uses ClickOnce for deployment. I have deployed it over 60 times and computers have not had any issues downloading the latest release. However, when I deployed this morning, the following error occurs when computers with Office 2007 installed tries to start the application: Unable to instal...
How do I dictate the destination folder of a clickOnce application? ...
I have several .NET WinForms applications that I'm preparing to convert into a click-once/smart-client deployment scenario. I've read the isn't-this-great tutorials but want to ask if there are pitfalls or "gotchas" that I should be aware of. there are several minor apps used off and on, but the main app is in C#, runs 24/7, is quite la...
I have read in some of the ClickOnce posts that ClickOnce does not allow you to create a desktop icon for you application. Is there any way around this? ...
Our company uses Citrix to remote into a terminal server for remote users to launch smart client apps within a virtual window on their machine. The problem is that smartclient apps are being downloaded each time the user launches them eventhough the version on the remote citrix server has not change. This is due to the user's profile b...
Hi, I'm currently facing a problem with my single instance clickonce deployed app, and maybe someone has a good idea about it. My app is called by a web application, which passes parameters to this exe. Now the problem is, if the application is already running, it takes quite a long time, until the new instance is started, the paramete...
