clickonce

I've recently installed vs2012 and I've updated my ClickOnce application. To be more precise, the first time I've opened my C++ project (on which depends my primary c# project) I've not updated it and everything worked fine. VS 2012 was still able to see the Visual C++ 2010 prerequisite. Later on I've updated my project by changing the Platform Toolset to "Visual Studio 2012 (v110)" under Properties->Configuration Properties->General . In the meantime I've installed even other software and now I discovered that I'm no more able to add the Visual C++ prerequisite to my project for the ClickOnce

I have a WPF click-once application that makes use of an unmanaged dll. When debugging locally I have just copied the dll into the debug/bin folder. How can I include the dll in the project (VS2010) so it is deployed and accessible to the application? I have tried adding it as a Resource and setting "Content" and "Copy Always", and the file does seem to be present in the setup/deployment files, however the application is not able to see it. If it helps, this is an example of the code I use to access the methods in the unmanaged DLL. [DllImport("ODBC_VER_DETECT.dll")] extern private static long

So I have developed my application in C#. I am ready to deploy it. I want to make it so that users always launch it from my website (so that they always get updates, no install, etc.). Is ClickOnce the proper way to do this? I tried deploying ClickOnce to my server and a few things jump out at me: 1) The user is given the option to run a setup or launch the .application file - what's the difference? Can't it detect this on it's own? 2) When I try to "launch" the .application it asks to download it to my computer. Anyway to just launch the file straight from the browser? 3) After I download and

Short Version: Are the event sources "Application" and "Application Error" always included in the Application Event Log? Are they available on new installations of Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7? Would it be really bad to use them instead of creating my own source (an impossibility for me)? Long Version: I have a ClickOnce application that is used by users without administrative privileges on their machines. When I try to write to the Appliction Event Log, I get a security exception. (The Windows event logging infrastructure is trying to create me a new event source, and gets a security

We're testing our ClickOnce deployed application internally on IIS (Internet Information Services), but we're wondering if we can deploy it to the wider internet using Apache on Linux so we can make use of our existing external website host. If so, is there anything else I need to consider other than as specifying the correct mime types such as .application and .deploy ? I found a number of people asking the same question starting around 2005, but here is the first google result - also discusses silverlight. http://software.clempaul.me.uk/articles/clickonce/ As far as I can tell, however, the

Is there any way to run custom code during the installation or uninstallation of a ClickOnce app? This question has been asked before here , but that was a long time ago, the answer given there was IMHO very kludgy, and I'm kind of hoping that the later releases of VS have provided a more elegant solution... Check the following articles: Administering ClickOnce Deployments Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Installer for a ClickOnce Application This solution is not very elegant but works: ClickOnce application autostart and clean uninstall or the way to customize ClickOnce installation ClickOnce

How do I set the icon for my start menu shortcut, when I deploy and install my application with ClickOnce? Platform: Visual Studio 2010 Professional Beta 1 RobinDotNet Double-click on the properties for your main project. Click on the Application tab. (I'm assuming C# here. If you're doing VB, post back if it's different and I'll see if it's the same.) In the middle of the page, there is an option for "icon and manifest". Browse to find the icon you want to use and select it. It needs to be in the top folder of your project; I think it will put it there when you select it. The icon will be

We decided to use the minimumRequiredVersion in our clickOnce application manifest, and now when we try to rollback to a previous version when the user launches the application it fails to start. It says the application manifest has a earlier version than the required version and the user can not use the application. We did not have this problem withou the minimumRequiredVersion, but we would like to use that. You have to deploy a new version with a higher version number. There is no built in rollback feature. You can use Mage.exe to update your deployment manifest (.application file extention
