ClickOnce "Application.IsNetworkDeployed" problem

[zombiechewtoy]

I'm having a problem displaying the version number of the ClickOnce deployment on my programs, but it's under odd conditions...

I have a program which is distributed via ClickOnce to around 50 PC's. On a handful of these, the version number displays when it is run from the network. However, on most, it is blank.

I have 2 labels. One that simply says "Version", and another that displays the actual number. Neither label is supposed to show if the app is not network deployed. This works...since neither label shows when I run the application from the IDE. However, when running after a network installation, the user will see the "Version" label, but the label with the actual number is left blank.

What makes this even more confusing...on a couple machines, the version number is populated. There is no difference in these machines that I can tell...they all install the app from the same location, etc.

Any ideas?

Code is below.

        If My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed Then 'If running from the network
            Dim version As String
            version = System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion.ToString
            lblVersion.Text = version
            lblVersion.Visible = True
            lblVersionTitle.Visible = True
        Else 'If running the application locally
            lblVersion.Visible = False
            lblVersionTitle.Visible = False
            Exit Sub
        End If

I would suggest building in a debug mode that will give you an interface to pull data from your system. Perhaps build a debug console which will let you dump and query your state variables and see what exactly is going on.

How would I go about doing this with a network deployment, though? If I push out a different version of the app, it will be installed for all users when they restart it.

Create it as a different Project? A new application?
