Hi~ Apparently in VS2008 SP1 there's an option under Publish | Options to have a desktop shortcut for ClickOnce, but I've got VS2008 with SP1 and there's no such option! My Publish Options page Any ideas? Thx! ...
Googling reveals many technical details and framework/OS prerequisites, but it seems to be hard to find a source that lists the permissions that are required for installing and running a ClickOnce app. This is especially interesting for delivering software to customers that work in large corporate networks with many security restrictio...
Hi, We have some special requirements: From our application, launch a ClickOnce application. It will download ClickOnce app to user's cache. After it's done, the main app needs to access some file downloaded into ClickOnce app folder. Is there any way for the main app to know the location of ClickOnce installation folder? Thanks, y...
I am making a click once installer. I checked in prerequisites the .NET 3.5 framework to be installed. Please tell me that if i install my installer in a virtual machine which does not have any .NET 3.5 framework installed then how will it proceed? I tried but when i paste the URL in the browser then it shows me the page cannot be displa...
I'm trying to setup a test app using ClickOnce as the deployment model. It's all gone quite well so far. I signed the manifests with a test certificate, but now every time I try to run it in release or debug mode, it asks me for the password. Not only is this a pain, if it worked, but it's giving me the error message "Object already exi...
I want to package direct X 9 with my installer as it is necessary for my software to work whose installer i am making. Can you please tell me how can i do that? I tried doing this thing. I went to the heading under prerequisite tab, download prerequisites from the following location and pasted the url for direct x which is http://downloa...
Hi all ~ This is getting a bit frustrating now! Heaps of awesome Karma for whoever can help me sort this out. :-) My cool little desktop C# app gets sent to users manually, zipped. They install it and all is well. One big missing piece to finish it off though is getting auto-updates to work. PART I: Publish Wizard Steps 1) "Where do ...
I have a Winform App that I deploy with ClickOnce that installs and works for me(my UserLogin) on any system in our Domain but will not start up for a regular Domain User. It doesn't produce any errors of any kind just sits there indefinitely. It used to work and I am at a loss as to what changed that it doesn't work now. I am at a ...
In my C# ClickOnce app, there is an auto-incremented Publish Version in the Project->Properties->Publish tab. I'd like to display that version in my Help->About box, but the code I'm using apparently accesses the Assembly Version, which is different. The Assembly Version can be changed manually in the Project->Propteries->Application->...
Hi, I've been wrestling with this for a while now. I have an app that uses a lot of mem and really would benefit from being LargeAddressAware. Problem in short: With the LAA-flag, the app won't start. Empirical results: 1) I have a release script that runs the entire ClickOnce publishing, then re-signs the executables and dlls, then ...
I'm looking to expand my troubleshooting list for the situation where a single user (or sometimes an office) has a ClickOnce deployment repeatedly stall on the same file. Items on my list so far in the first answer. I've got a particular problem in mind with a customer who seems to be having a problem not caused by the first item on my...
I understand that ClickOnce applications can update automatically. However, the options offered by Microsoft are not what I am looking for. If I check the version before the application starts, the startup is slower. If I chek the version after the application starts, I don't know than a new version is available until the next startup....
I'm about to start working on a ClickOnce app targeted at internal customers for use on the organization's intranet. I want to ease the setup process, so I thought that developing the app to be partially trusted would be a good idea, but now I'm not so sure. One thing that the users have specifically asked for is (boiled down to) a Tex...
I am having a problem with data not updating on the CRM at my wife's office. Scenario: User loads the app. Data from the DB populates the master view. User opens edit screen. Data is populated for the correct detail item. User changes a value (on any field). The save button becomes active with the data change. The user clicks ...
I'd like to programatically determine the "publish location" (the location on the server which contains the installation) of the click-once application I'm running. I know that the appref-ms file contains this information and I could parse this file to find it but the application has no idea as to the location of the appref-ms file and I...
Let's say we have version 2.0 of an application deployed with around 3000 users already running the application. So far, the application was unsigned(signed by some auto generated certificate from VS). The users are using .NET 2.0. Now we would like to deploy a new version that will be signed using a certificate from tucows. One of t...
We have an application on pilot implementation using clickonce to deliver fast updates. We have even automated the build proces with nant and we can control every step of the building of the deploy package. This pilot, we delivered with the productname "PRODUCT TITLE (PILOT)", but now, we want to upgrade all our pilot users to the produ...
Hi, i made a click once installer, in that i added direct X as a custom prerequisite. when i make the installer on my local machine only then the installation of DirectX works fine. but i need to make a clickonce deployment for the web so that a person can remotely access my installer and download it. when i am adding a custom pre...
Hi, I have a Windows Form application. Version 1 of my app has been released for a while and client is using it. Version 1 of the app is connected to the production database. I have been developing on version 2 of the app and I plan to released a beta version for the client. Version 2 of the app will be connected to the test database, s...
Hi, [EDIT] The solution seems to be assigning PersistUpdateCheckInfo to false: UpdateCheckInfo updateInfo = null; ... updateInfo = deployment.CheckForDetailedUpdate(false); [/EDIT] I've got a (more or less) perfect manual system for updates using the ClickOnce API. I say perfect because the user is presented with a form explai...
