Trying to publish a click once type app to a local directory and create a websetup with the published contents- so that i can give tat setup to install in two different servers. but as the publishing wizard takes a URL - separate setup is required for each server. Is there any way that i can create a single setup which i can use it in two servers..?
View 1 RepliesI have a question regarding publishing vis ClickOnce. For the publish options, there is a Publishing Folder Location and there is a Installation Folder URL. clarify the difference between Publish and Install, and when it would be apropriate for the two to be different?

Publishing to CD using the ClickOnce method IS possible in VB 2008 Express. I've posed many questions in the past in my questions regarding "Distributing A Program on CD".I was getting error messages and my program would not instal on a 3rd party computer (My LapTop)
I followed all the instruction as laid out in the Help file and took note of all the advice I received in the forum but the programs wouldn't install on my LapTop.I bought a book entitled "Build A Program Now Microsoft VisualBasic 2008 Express Edition" by Patrice Pelland.
In Chapter nine in goes through the procedure of publishing with the ClickOnce method. The one thing that the book said which was not included in the Help file was that the option "Build (Program)" in the Build menu had to be selected.I then went through all the other options as were discussed in my threads "Distributing a Program on CD".
Success! I published two programs, "MasterMind" and "HangMan" (Simple enough programs for a beginner to VB Express)I then burnt the two folders created during the publish porcedure to a CD, loaded the CD onto my LapTop and double clicked on "Setup" on the "Mastermind" program. Total success! The program installed without a hitch and runs without fault.
I then selcted to instal "HangMan" and bombed out with the error message that stated I need to instal
"Microsoft.Visual Basic.PowerPacks.Vs" in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first."
I have a project and I'm publishing it with ClickOnce. As it publishes, it asks: "Version 1.00.xxx (etc) already exists on the server, do you want to overwrite it?" -- well, I click yes, and then I run the setup file and install it (I publish to my desktop), and guess what -- it's the old version of the project.For some reason, unless the version that is published is greater than the prior version, even if I tell it to overwrite that version, it is not published properly!
This has caused me some headaches, as I test my program on another VM, find errors, fix them in code, republish, and find the same bugs in my program as I test it again because it didn't publish the latest or newest version of my program, I even tried the simplest thing, I changed the text on my main form window that opens to something different from previous, and no matter how many times I publish, and click overwrite the old version, the old version remains!

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
