How To Publish Parallel Installers Using ClickOnce
Jul 29, 2009I'm deploying a standalone application (VB 2005 w/ Crystal Reports) using ClickOnce. My users have different IP addresses that they use to map to the same networked drive. The best way I've come up with to get the installer out to them is to publish it twice manually:
ip.addr.number.001/PublishedHere/001/setup.exe
ip.addr.number.002/PublishedHere/002/setup.exe
And telling them to execute the appropriate installer.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 When Publish It And Try To Install ClickOnce Output Files On Another PC
Apr 30, 2009I have finally finished an application which works really well on the PC upon which I developped it using VB 2008 Express.My problem is that when I publish it and try to install the ClickOnce output files on another PC (tried two so far, both WinXP) I get a missing files error. There is an error output saying that downloading the .exe.manifest file did not succeed. Unfortunately the error detail is confusing and does not seem to indicate exactly which files are missing.On both of the PC's that I tried I was prompted io install .net 3.5 SP1, which seemed to have been successful. The inference is that it is not a .net file that is missing.

Mar 31, 2009How they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.

.net - Breaking An Old Clickonce App So Nobody Can Use It?
Oct 20, 2011I have an old ClickOnce program, which has been replaced by a new one I wrote, and I am aware that some people are still using the old one.I want to somehow remotely remove it from every computer where it is still being used (there are far too many to manually find them).
View 2 RepliesIDE :: ClickOnce Not Bootstraping .NET 3.5
May 26, 2009When I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 Windows Forms application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly WindowsBase Version 3.0.0.0 be installed in the GAC first."
When I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 WPF application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the application vendor for assistance."
Installing .NET 3.5 manualy on the machine solves both problems so it is clear that they both complain about the missing .NET 3.5 that's needed by the app. But why doesn't the ClickOnce installer bootstrap the .NET 3.5 and automaticaly intall it if needed? I set it as a prerequisite but it seems to be ignored. And why is this error so much more criptic and unhelpfull in WPF?

View 3 Replies.net - ClickOnce Deployment Errors
Mar 30, 2009I am trying to deploy a ClickOnce app. It had worked previously when the server was just sitting with .Net 2.0 installed (no SP). Recently the server had 3.5SP1 installed on it and now ClickOnce is failing with the error:Value does not fall within the expected range inside System.Deployment.
Here is the information posted on the MSDN forums (answers there are generally hit or miss for me) with the call stack:It was in VS 2005 w/SP1 and I tried changing the path I publish to, changing the installation URL, changing the assembly name, manually controlling versions, running mage -cc, manually removing all application data in %userprofile%AppDataLocalApps and even changing deployment servers completely but still get the same error:

ClickOnce And Filestream Permission?
Jul 27, 2009VB.NET application which allows user to split a file in smaller files. However the stand alone executable of the application,had a permission problem using filestream to read a file without an OutOfMemory exception, while selecting to split locatein certain directories like "C:".To solve the problem i checked My Project window and the "Security" tab, and i tried checking the checkbox: "Enable ClickOnce Security Setting" and selecting "fulltrust application".

File Used To Open ClickOnce App
Aug 20, 2010This is my first time using this ClickOnce thing (not liking it) howver I'm attempting to setup a file association. I added my extension to the project properties - publish - options - file associations screen and once I publish and install it associates to the file. Double clicking the file opens my application however I can't manage to get the path for the file in my application.I used to just use the command property but that seams to work fine in debug mode does nothing from the ClickOnce file.I tried useing My.Application.Deployment.ActivationUri.ToString as one site I found suggested but that just crashed my program.Try as I might I just can't find a useful explenation or example on how to get that file name into my program so I can open it.

Feb 19, 2007We have one user who has run into problem on this CilickOnce win app today.When she clicked the Install button on the publish.htm hosted on the network, a message said:dfsvc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. However the app still launched when she clicks any button on the pop up message box, then later crashes in a crystal report viewer with system.reflection.target invocation exception if she enter that particular area.I googled dfsvc.exe. Some posts said it is a virus while others said it is ClickOnce engine. I have many other users who are on the same version and are running the same OS settings without any of the above mentioned trouble.I am not sure if the dfsvc.exe error is related to the reflection eception or not.

Jun 28, 2011I have a vb.net clickonce application that will be used by low-level personnel with no administrator accesses. However, the application itself needs to save files to a folder on the server that is hidden and only allows read/write access to administrators. I need for these users to be able to interact with this folder using the application without giving them the ability to browse to the folder on their own. I've tried using several impersonation techniques, none have worked.

Stand Alone Exe + ClickOnce Cache?
Nov 17, 2009Two separate but related questions about deploying a Visual Basic 2008 .net application:1. Click One installs in a cache under local data. The EXE launches from the cache even if not on-line. I don't want my users to have a runnable EXE left over in their cache after exiting the program. Is there a way to delete or disable the cache contents on close of app or equivalent?
2. My EXE uses an interop DLL. I want my EXE to be a single stand-alone file so that I don't have to copy both the EXE and the DLL to the user. Is there a compile setting to incorporate everything, includng the DLL, into the EXE.First question relates to Click Once Web deployment. Second question refers ONLY to ordinary COMPILE, not click-once.
Use The Clickonce Setup File?
May 16, 2010I have my main project file. I added another solution within it. So BOTH solutions are under the MAIN project file. I can use a custom setup file, and all that other fun stuff, coupled with the 'Check for updates' via Clickonce.
IF i were to use the clickonce setup file..is there a way to have both programs be in the SAME programs folder on the start menu?
VS 2010 ClickOnce Installer With Same Name
Nov 29, 2011Im new to .net and clickOnce publishing. As I make newer builds I have an install file with the same name as previous builds for an application with the same name. If I then install the new build application over the old build application will I run into problems? or is this OK? I am deploying to folks that are non-computery (i.e. expect new features to just work 5 mins after requesting them), and if I can allow them to just run the new install similar to an update, i.e. over an existing install, it would be a lot easier and quicker than having them uninstall and reinstall etc.
View 3 Replies.net - Debugging ClickOnce Deployed Application
Nov 9, 2010I am new to ClickOnce deployment and at first glance it seems a great way to maintain .Net applications updated with ease. I am developing a simple application that stores information on a mdb database and over some XML files. I understood how to use the "data" folder with ClickOnce and I am developing the part of my application that should migrate the data from older versions after a ClickOnce update. Now I need to debug that part of my code that only runs when the application is in "networkDeployed" mode. So actually I'm doing the following really slow process to test a new deployed version:
publishing the application on a provisional website (I can choose between a faster locale iis site or a real online one) installing the application from the deploying website (the first time) or running the old installed application so it automatically catch new updates and gets updated... running the application
So basically I have two problems here:
the whole process is much too slow :/ I'm running the app as every other app directly from the OS, so I can't access to the debugger...
I am pretty sure that there are better way to test ClickOnce deployed applications...
