clickonce

I have a .NET project that uses Crystal Reports. The application is distributed using ClickOnce. Things work great if the user has Crystal installed on their computer. However, not all of the end users have Crystal Reports installed on their computers. These users are receiving the following error... "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.XmlSerialize Version 10.5.3700.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first." Is there a way to force ClickOnce installs to ensure that a prerequisite is installed? No.

I am developing a C# desktop application using Winforms. I created an installation strategy using visual studios click once installation tool. Luckily it provides clients to detect, download and setup the related prerequisite components. My question is I started to develop this app with .NET 4.0 and then upgraded it to .NET 4.5 now on the prerequisites list both 4.5 and 4 is checked. i am wondering if i uncheck the .NET 4.0 component would it be alright? does .NET 4.5 include .NET 4.0? When .NET 4.5 is installed it effectively replaces .NET 4.0 on the machine. .NET 4.0 gets overwritten by a

I have a WinForms application that was going to use ClickOnce. But it turns out ClickOnce won't work for my application, so I'd like to remove it. Only...there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this. There's no "Un-ClickOnce" button. Does anybody know what steps I need to take to get my app to be like it was before ClickOnce integrated itself? (I know I can create a new project and import stuff into it, but it seems silly to have to do that, so I'm hoping there's another way.) Chris Rogers Other responses here are not correct or helpful. It is incorrect to state that it never needs

I'm trying to sign my clickonce app. I have an EV code signing certificate that is using SHA256. The problem is that when I sign my app using the post build commands, it seems to be using SHA1 instead of SHA256. Here is a clip of the output window: Running Code Analysis... 1> Code Analysis Complete -- 0 error(s), 0 warning(s) 1> The following certificate was selected: 1> Issued to: Certificate Subject Name Here 1> 1> Issued by: DigiCert EV Code Signing CA (SHA2) 1> 1> Expires: Thu Apr 14 06:00:00 2016 1> 1> SHA1 hash: HASH-HERE 1> 1> 1> Done Adding Additional Store 1> Successfully signed and

I have a Clickonce app from Visual Studio 2015 SP3 that is published to the network server and used in-house only. The program works just fine when launched from Visual Studio. It runs just fine on a Windows machine that does not have the 1803 update. But once a machine updates to 1803, the application no longer starts. I get the "Checking for updates..." window then nothing. On a fresh install, I usually get the Smartscreen telling me the program may be dangerous. It doesn't get that far. I've created the Clickonce from a computer with the 1803 update and the problem still exists. I've

OK, I have a Windows Forms application published using ClickOnce to http://MyDevComputer1/DevPublishFolder/ , so the deployement link is http://MyDevComputer1/DevPublishFolder/publish.htm . The application is already deployed to close to 20 machines in the company intranet. I now have a requirement to change the publish location to a different server in the same network, but I'm just not sure how this change will affect the users who already have the application installed on their client machines. How do I make sure the application detects that the publish location has been changed to a

I updated my ClickOnce application and then when the user runs they are asked if they want to install the new version. I am working in a highly controlled environment. When an update is available it has to be installed (backwards compatibility with the database is not ensured with old versions). Another option is to fail the run if skip is pressed (that works fine too). I need some way to stop them from running an old version of the application. David This article answers your question.
