I can get the program to easily, upon startup, look for updates and then install them. I want to have a button that the user can click that will check/install updates. Is this possible, if so how? Edit: Sorry all, not ASP.NET; VB.NET only ...
I have a VB.NET program that I wish to to publish. In the code it references a HTML page that I created. Instead of having the URL hard coded (example: www.test2.com/folder/index.html) I would like to have it relative to wherever the encoder is installed to (example: /folder/index.html) How can I do this?

Howdy, Can an application delivered via ClickOnce in .Net, read Excel and Access files from the users disk?

There is an assumpti...
I have seen some application which “deploy” strategy is to have an .exe file in a server and access it via shortcut from different “clients” and it works fine, they only worry about keep updated that exe when a new version arrives, I'm wondering why this approach could be wrong and what would be the advantage of use click once instead of...
Hi, I created a Clickonce deployment of my test app and I am trying to run it on my Win XP Sp2 test box. When I click on the install button that VS 2008 creates, all I get is the manifest file displayed in my browser and it doesn't spawn the install If I run the install against an IE7 test box, everything works ok.

I have a client that wants to use Google Chrome for an internal web app we've developed(I don't blame him, I really enjoy using chrome!) The problem is we have a win forms app that the users can launch from the browser, deployed using click once.

I publish Windows Forms application using ClickOnce. The installation is quite big considering the overall size of this app. It's something over 15 MB. If I compress locally built application it is squeezed to 2.5 MB. Can ClickOnce deployment be compressed somehow? If not, is anyone using IIS compression to speed up transfers? Would t...
I read somewhere that config data is stored under user account->Local Settings->Application data, but can't find where the dlls, exes and resource files are going. I know ClickOnce uses an application store and a data directory to store its application data, but are these accessible to the client? Are they browseable? ...
How could I ensure that all the clients will always be using the latest version of a winforms application (updates from a network place, suppose always connected) while deploying it with clickonce. Thanks. ...
Is it possible to remotely debug a process started outside VB6? The application is a VB6 application with quite a few dll/ocx resources.

I have been getting the error "The required version of the .NET Framework is not installed on this computer." (Event Id 4096 in Event log) when trying to install a VSTO application from both a ClickOnce deployment and a local copy. This is interesting as the .NET framework is installed (on my 32bit Windows 7 PC) and the VSTO application ...

I develop some C# plug-in libraries in VS2008 that are deployed along with someone else's application. They use ClickOnce for their deployments and I'm trying to do something a bit non-standard, I suppose. On one of the machines where the app and my DLLs are installed, I'd like to manually replace some of my DLLs to test a fix. The ap...
I have a clickonce application and i want to deploy 2 versions of the same application with different config files. So the package is published from the same solution but with changed configs to different urls: Example: App1 is launched at http://myserver/app1/myapp.application and app2 is launched at http://myserver/app2/myapp.applicati...
