Are there any defaults in the clickonce installation? If someone decides to install the application, this application will be availiable to all the users of the computer? I guess the answer is no. They can only use the application if they log into the user account who installed it... but sometimes it is better to ask ...
Hi, I testing the deployment of my project using clickonce. Boy was I in for a surprise. I am using quite a few 3 party dlls and my clickonce payload is 24MB. This obviously takes a while to get down to my users, especially those on VPN. Has anyone used clickonce with Amazon S3? Can this even be done? I am thinking on publishing my depl...
Have a smartclient application that is distributed using Click-Once, but also includes a SQLite DB for a local cache. The problems is that once the app is published it doesn't seem to be able to open the SQLite DB file. Have included the DB file as part of the install process... Any thoughts? ...
I am considering using ClickOnce for a legacy Windows Forms application. I have several questions related to ClickOnce itself. Does a user need administrative privelages to install the ClickOnce application? Can the ClickOnce application access the local file system? When does an end-user experience security prompts? Can the applicatio...
Hello, I am currently working with some users that do not have the .NET Framework installed. I have a ClickOnce application I am attempting to deploy. This has lead me to arrive at two questions: What is the minimum version of the .NET Framework required on these users machines? I have heard .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5. If a user has .NET ...
Is there an equivalent to browser cookies for Smart Client / Click Once application development on .NET 3.5? Some place I can store cookies on the user's machine rather than the server. Or to put it another way - what file location can you write to from a sandboxed Click-Once app that won't violate good security practices. I don't wa...
Is there a way to have VS.NET 2008 execute the "Publish Now" button from the command line? I've seen posts that suggest to use msbuild /target:publish to call it. That is ok, but msbuild doesn't increment the revision number. I'm hoping for something like: devenv mysolution.sln /publish ...
I would like to periodically check for updates for my ClickOnce application even if it is not currently running. I found a post about using ClickOnce to deploy a background service, which would allow me to run a service that checks for updates, but the setup is kind of tricky so I'm wondering if there is an easier or more straightforward...
My company currently builds separate MSI's for all of our clients, even though the app is 100% the same across the board (with a single exception, an ID in the app.config). I would like to show them that we can publish in once place with ClickOnce, and simply add a query string parameter for each client's installer. Example: http://mys...
I have found a lot of obfuscation tools with no clickonce support. Could you provide vendors with click once support? I would like to deploy obfuscated software at once without adding ANY extra line of code (pre-buid, post build etc) p.s. I believe that is software related ...
My solution has 4 projects, each project contains many namespaces. Currently my DLL size is nearly 30 MB. Just a small change to a class means that the user needs to download a new version of the DLL which size is too large and it takes a long time. How can a ClickOnce project be set up for multifile assemblies? ...
In my application, I load some assemblies dynamically, depending on what was the user's choice. Naturally, these are not referenced in the project. When publishing with ClickOnce, these assemblies are not included in the package. The question is - is it possible to trick the ClickOnce publisher to use some other files not referenced in ...
I am attempting to sign a ClickOnce manifest using a certificate generated from Certificate Services 2003 (by going to http://cert-server/certsrv, and requesting a code-signing cert from the browser). When I install the application through ClickOnce, the Publisher of the application shows up as my personal name, rather than the name of ...
I have created application and deployed it using ClickOnce it size is about 30MB, at first it take time about 2 - 3 hours on 128KB lease-line. Then I have enable file compression on IIS and download time is reduce to about 40 minutes. I want to decrease download time to 10 - 20 minutes but I have no idea how to do that. My solution has...
I publish my ClickOnce from Visual Studio, but see no option to add licensing and terms and conditions to it. I refuse to believe that Microsoft left this crucial part of installation out, so could someone tell me how to do it? Edit: Possible duplicate : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/834071/clickonce-ask-for-a-license-agreement ...
I'm having a bit of a hair-puller here. I'm publishing a VS 2008 application to a server, to be installed via ClickOnce. So far, so good. It installs just fine. Then I added in a ClickOnce update checker - one that uses ApplicationDeployment to handle checking for & applying updates. So far, so good. Then, on some of the machines it w...
I have an win-forms application that takes an existing exe which we do not have the source code for. We do, however, develop several Dlls that plug-in to the application to provide the core back-end functionality. I'd like to be able to configure ClickOnce to deploy this app, but I'm not sure if this is possible given that the main exe...
Hello: I'm developing a Windows Form application that will typically minimize to the system tray. Being new to .net, what would the easiest approach be for packaging/deplopyment that allows: The application ensure it puts itself into the startup menu, or something equivalent to this. Easy updates—like those apps that periodically che...
I would like to publish my app to a website so users can download via a URL and the app can update from the same location. I have 'standard' Linux hosting, but I get the message when trying to publish with ClickOnce: The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installed. Is Windows (ASP.NET?) hosting required for...
I've written a .Net WCF Office 2007 app which uses ClickOnce as an installer. I'm using MSBuild via commandline to sign it, but I'm getting the following error: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0\OfficeTools\Microso ft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.Office2007.targets(250,9): error MSB4018: T he "SignFile" task failed unexp...
