ClickOnce Deployment Error
Aug 3, 2011
I Have a BIG problem. I make applications on Visual basic 2010 and of course use clickonce. when another computer wants to install an application (From the mediafire in a ZIP folder) the user extracts the folder, launches either the "Setup" or the ClickOnce application and then selects install and the following error message appears:
"Unable to install or run the application. The Application requires thaat assembly Microsoft.VisualBasic.Powerpacks.Vs Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) First. Please contact your system anministrator."

All,I seem to have stumbled upon a ClickOnce error that stops me from auto-updating. When I Deploy my program using ClickOnce it publishes to the specified location and installs just fine. I can run my program no problem if I activate it from the start menu. However, I have code that registers the program as the default to open a specific file type. Naturally, I want my user to be able to double click on the file type of my choice and have my program open like normal. All-in-All this works.
The problem arises because I need my program to check for updates before loading my program, much like it does when I open the program from the start menu (I set the auto-update check within the ClickOnce options). However, this check does NOT run when the user double-clicks a file type to run my program, it merely skips this step and opens the program. So first I tried to find a way to run the Update manually through code, what I cam up with was this: [Code]

I 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:

I have a application that I deployed to web server. Users go to "publish.htm" deployment web page to install my vb.net application. Where is the application installed? I don't think it is installed under "Program Files" like others.

I have a program, written in VB 2008, that I deplpoy in Terminal server, that has some user settings (scope: user) that I'd like to modify locally. By default the user settings were not even installed locally. I think they are supposed to appear in the ClickOnce data directory. Using the following thread, I was able to get the user.settings installed locally:
[URL]
basically, i set my xml file as "Content" and I set the publish status as "Data File".
With this, my settings file appears in:
"C:Documents and SettingsusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataCompanyXYZProgramNameL.exe_Url_arzmal0maveh1nnwfib245pfk13xqfma1.0.0.0user.settings"
The problem is that modifying this file doesn't affect the application. I changed some settings, restarted the app, and changes were ignored.

I use VS 2008 Standard. If I do a QuickOnce deployment after resetting Application Files in the Publish Tab I get a bunch of messages saying that various files are not in the GAC. To solve this I change the Publish Status from Prerequisite (Auto) to Include and set Download Group to Required. Then when I install the application I get the splash screen and then the message that the application has stopped working. There was a workaround posted to delete /bin/obj/.cache etc, but I have no /bin/obj/ folder.

I've used VB2008EE to create a Windows Forms app which includes a Help form. The helpform contains a Treeview for navigation and a WebBrowser control which displays the relevant part of an HTML page containg the help information.The app is intended to be used offline - so I need to include the HTML page file as part of the published app, and I need to be able to specify where this HTML file will be installed on the target computer so that the URI in my Helpform which loads the Help page will locate this file.
(I expect the HTML file should live in the directory pointed to by the:
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData property)
how to specify the Project settings and Publish Wizard etc. (& whatever else is necessary) in order to achieve the above.

I have an application that I'm deploying using Clickonce that includes the Report Viewer. On my development machine, the reports work perfectly. However, on client machines, the reports are having printing problems. On some machines, the first print sends a 2 page document to a printer that displays an error message. On those machines, printing the second time is successful. On other machines, the first attempt doesn't get sent to the printer at all. Subsequent attempts work just fine.This happens each time a form with the report viewer is displayed - the user must print twice to get a correct print-out of the report.
NOTE: if I create a network shortcut to the application for a user that has NOT installed the Clickonce app, they are able to print from the Reportviewer without any issues. However, once they install the Clickonce app, the Reportviewer is "broken" (for lack of a better word) and won't print on the first attempt in ANY application.I know that I probably need to do something in my Publish settings to force the correct, newer version of the Reportviewer to be installed, but I can't figure out what that is.
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Reportviewer selected in the Prerequisites list, and there are 4 Reportviewer files in the Application Files list:Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll - Prerequisite (Auto)Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll - Prerequisite (Auto)Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll - Prerequisite (Auto)Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.xml - Exclude (Auto)?

My application/project has an Access Database as its Project DataSource. I have a DataSet Designer (.xsd), with many TableAdapters, some of which I've created via the Designer. I have 2-10 users/foreman on any given workday, with their own Netbook and my ClickOnce Application.Users will add/edit/delete records in each of their own versions of the App/DataBase, XML files, representing changes, are created and upload to an ftp server.The corner I've painted myself into:When my Project Manager downloads these XML files using his own version of the application, analyzes each reported item, confirms and updates his version what is the best way to propagate those updates back to each user without having to update the project db and publish again?

I have a ClickOnce application deployed to many workstations in my office. On it's first run it adds a registry key to the HKCU run group that adds itself with a "-minimize" argument. On each login the program starts and seeing the command line argument minimizes itself. However when a update is published the program does not update. If the program is run from its menu shortcut without arguments it runs fine. I then looked up how to update programmaticaly and put that code into my program to run at startup.
But my.application.isnetworkdeployed returns False when command line arguments are passed to the app and TRUE when run without command line arguments even though in both cases it is network deployed. Since my program starts up with command line arguments and stays minimized while the computer is on there is no reason for a user to close the program and reopen it through a menu item but as of right now that's the only way the program updates. Is this a bug or how ClickOnce is supposed to work?
Example: Create a new program. On the form add a textbox. In the Form load event put something like:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
TextBox1.Text = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath.ToString & "" & My.Application.Info.AssemblyName & ".exe"
MsgBox("Is my app network deployed?: " & My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed)
End Sub
Deploy the app. Start it with a menu item and it returns True. Start it with any command like argument (use the path from the box) and it returns false. Why? How is that possible? The app didn't magically become non network deployed because it was passed a command line argument.

I am using the built-in My.Settings functionality in VB.NET to save application settings.
This is very convenient but I notice that each time I release a new version, the settings are lost.
Why and how can I prevent it?

I've developed a database application in VB.Net 2010 Express and published a ClickOnce deployment package, the only choice in the Express version. The installation is supposed to create a listing on the Start menu but this isn't happening. Also, I'm using a specialized Hebrew font in the application that is not carrying over to the installation. what I'm doing wrong or if the ClickOnce publishing method is not capable of working in this way?

I've had a ClickOnce app in use for a few months now, but recently started getting an error on my deployment of the latest version. With this latest version I've added a reference to a DLL that I hadn't used before (FTD2XX_NET.dll if it's relevant), and suspect that this is related to the issue but I cannot figure out how to fix it.
The actual project being deployed references another library project, which is what references the DLL (it references other DLL's but that has worked for months and they haven't changed). Following these threads I've tried deleting my "Local Settings/Apps" folder and rebooting multiple times, as well as recreating the project and deploying to a different location. The error exists on multiple machines so I do not suspect it's user profile corruption. Here is the full error I'm given:
[Code]...
Edit: It seems the problem is spreading. On the second machine I purged all of the ClickOnce files in the "Local Settings/Apps" so I had to reinstall an old program. When I went to do so it gave me the same error. This program was last updated in February. In response I tried totally removing and reinstalling the .NET framework to no avail.

I requested a Code Signing Certificate from my own domain Certification Authority on my Windows 2008 R2 domain controller.
When trying to publish my code to my webserver via Clickonce, it throws "an error occurred while signing: Invalid provider type specified"
In order to get the certificate I duplicated the Code Signing template on my CA, and tried both options available:
1) must use Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider
2) use any provider available locally
algorithm is RSA, key minim size 2048, Hash SHA1, alternative format unchecked

I am getting an error when trying to move my ASP.NET application from VS2010 to our IIS 6.0 webserver. The error happens on the first time the app tries to make a new SQLXMLCommand Object on the login page. When navigating to the login page and entering valid credentials I got an error saying a null reference exception was thrown. Investigating into the exception we were able to determine another exception was being thrown and caught, causing the null reference exception later in the code.
The Corresponding line of code throwing the exception:
New SqlXmlCommand(conn.ConnectionString & ";Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;")
The exception causing the problems below:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {83D0FC3E-8B31-4B35-A1B2-346BA3954514} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."
[code]....
Looking further into the problem, the exception is only thrown on the Web Server. No exception is thrown if I am using localhost. I though I may be missing a reference to Microsoft.Data.SqlXml.dll as it was working localhost and not on the webserver. I tried fixing this by included the dll reference in my deployment project and making sure it was added to the bin folder, but with no avail.
Edit:SQLXML 4.0 was not installed on our webserver, it was part of the baseline installation of my machine.

I am not an expert in using vb.net, but I am trying to make my vb.net project accessible to others. I've done it before (about 5 years ago) with another program. This program is basically the same just for a different product line for us. I have all the files on a server. I published everything to a directory on the server...the directory is in the same spot as the other directory. I checked all of my project properties and have now made sure they are the same as my other project. The publishing works fine. But, when I try to run the setup.exe or the .application file, I an error message that pulls up a log file. I've looked all over and found similar log files, but no solution that seemed to work. Here is what the log file is telling me. Any help would be great. I am thinking it is something simple...remember I am not an expert. And, I know I got the other one to work a few years ago when I moved it from visual basic 6.0 to vb.net. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to work with my project.
