VS 2008 When Publish It And Try To Install ClickOnce Output Files On Another PC
Apr 30, 2009
I 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.

I have written a program and deployed using clickonce to all desktop users. Additionally, the program is also installed (non clickonce) on a terminal server. (For security reasons, these users cannot install on their desktops). I need to add some code to the current program but only need this code to happen if it's being run as a Non ClickOnce Application. Does anyone know how to determine if the running version is a clickonce or not? Is there something in System.Deployment.Application that identifies?

My application is small, I intend to use the installer that comes with VS 2008 Prof.Edition, or ClickOnce.I'm wondering which is better, I need to include a copy of the .NET framework 2.0 in a package, and have it installed simply, and also be easy to uninstall.

I have a ClickOnce app that has been working fine for a couple months, until a day or two back some internal politics borked the server. The result of this was that the path for ClickOnce during install changed just slightly at one intermediate level. It used to have /is/ in the path, and the is has changed to something else. I changed everything I could find, including recreating the whole target directory in IIS on the server. However, when I publish, though the link is correct, installation is failing. The log shows that, after checking and installing some prerequisites, the installation is attempting to go back to that /is/ path to find the app for installation.
Can anybody suggest where that invalid path is located? I have gone through every property I can find in Project|Properties, and they are correct. I have looked in App.config, and that is correct. Where else should I be looking?

i have created an application on my windows vista 64-bit computer. I need to be able to install the application on other computers. I copied over the setup.exe file as well as the other files that the publish wizard created onto my flash drive. I then put my flash drive onto a windows xp computer and copied over the install files. I ran setup.exe, it said it was installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The progress bar didn't move for an hour. I canceled that and tried to just run the manifest. It prompted to 'run' it etc... i did that and it said the .NET Framework that i canceled was required.
When i built the application ClickOnce was not enabled, the second time i did it ClickOnce was enabled. I then started to play around with the files that were required. What is wrong? I need to be able to install this application on other computers but mine. It works perfectly on my vista but wont even install on the xp. Do you think i am just doing something wrong as i publish/build it?

I'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.

How 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.

My clickonce app has the following pre-requisites: Windows Installer 3.1 .NET Framework 3.5 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer Microsoft Visual Basic Power Packs 3.0 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (x86) The application has been successfully installed on more than 30 computers. All but 2 computers, have had installation problems.
For awhile, one of the two computers in question, would not resolve installation of SQL server 2005 Express edition. It would go through the motions of downloading the program and then attempting an install and after a good 30 minutes, an error would show up indicating that the installation had failed. The user continued to have a nuisance error pop up appear when he'd log into his computer.Long story short, I resolved that problem. So now all of the pre-requisites are installed and confirmed as successfully installed. The clickonce application does not install however. The following log file was created as a result of this error:
PLATFORM VERSION INFO
Windows : 5.1.2600.131072 (Win32NT)
Common Language Runtime : 2.0.50727.3053

I have written a simple program in VB 2008 that in a part of it, it loads some images from a directory with a formula like this :
PictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(CurDir() & "photos�.jpg")
The photos are located in : inDebugphotos this works fine and loads images when I run the program.But after I publish, it can no more locate the files and I receive an Error:
Unhandled exception...
c:users.............................................photos�.jpg
Now I need your kind help please in these 2 cases:
1- Can you tell me how I can correct the formula?
2- After publish, dose the setup file contains my photos folder as well?

Just got this message today on user machines when pushing out an update to a ClickOnce VB.NET application.No new references have been added, just some bug fixes.
System Update Required Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.Vbe.Interop Version 14.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.Note that this is only happening in XP machines, not Win 7.

I select Diagnostic for MSBuild project build output verbosity. This works for Clean and Build.
Unfortunately, Publish Now flushes everything from the Output Window just before it does the actual copy to the web site. Is there someway to change this behavior so I don't lose all of the diagnostic information or point the output to a file?

I have a program in vb express 2008 which I would like to publish in a little more professional manner than provided in the standard vb express package. I would at least like to include a "Terms of Use" document the user must agree to before installing the program. I have dovnloaded and installed web developer, c# and vs 2008. Do any of these include a professional installer? If not are there any free installer packages available? I am 72 and live on a limited budget so I cannot aford an expensive package for one program.

I've built a couple of Apps successfully, but having published them to a Network Folder, Non-Admin Users can't install them themselves because the Install attempts to create an Entry in the Start Menu. There may be other Security issues (I need 4 of the permissions included if I publish it as a Partial Trust Applications, which I think affect this) after this point that I'm not aware of, but yeah, it fails when trying to create a Start Menu item -
+ Access to the path 'C:Documents and SettingsJameOStart MenuProgramsMynas' is denied.
I think excluding the right is just part of the SOE, but is there some way I can create this and have it NOT create a Start Menu item, haven't been able to find any?

I have VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?
NOTE: I want that app files are installed to Hard disk( from USB stick source)Is the signing recommended or necessary? My App is pretty simple, its just using access DB + printer api, should I still sign?

My program I wrote is using Outlook 12.0 lib for Outlook 2007. I have referenced this in the project. This exe will only be installed on computers that has Outlook 2007 on it. So with this being the case, do I need to bother including any of the lib files? Or just my exe?I have this in my form:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
[code]....
So I assume the Interop is all part of the object lib? I know this sounds crazy but I tried coding it using late-binding with many examples but just had too many problems. So I'm going to make three different exe's for versions 2003, 2007 and 2010.

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.

Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controlsNow when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.
