EULA Bootsrapper (without anything to actually install)? - C# Express08 ClickOnce

[nelmr]

Hey guys,

I wanted to write a bootstrapper to display my EULA prior to installing my click once app. However, it does display it but when I press "Agree" it locks up saying it is trying to install the End User License Agreement. I guess this is because I am not actually installing anything? How does one display their EULA using the Setup.exe of the clickonce application? Here is my bootstrapper code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Product
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"
ProductCode="EULA.Bootstrap.Component"
>
<!-- Defines list of files to be copied on build -->
<PackageFiles>
<PackageFile Name="en/eula.txt"/>
</PackageFiles>


<Commands>
<Command PackageFile="en/eula.txt"
Arguments='' >

<ExitCodes>
<DefaultExitCode Result="Fail" FormatMessageFromSystem="true" String="GeneralFailure" />
</ExitCodes>

</Command>
</Commands>
</Product>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Package
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"
Name="DisplayName"
Culture="Culture"
LicenseAgreement="eula.txt">

<PackageFiles>
<PackageFile Name="eula.txt"/>
</PackageFiles>

<!-- Defines a localizable string table for error messages and url's -->
<Strings>
<String Name="DisplayName">End User License Agreement</String>
<String Name="Culture">en</String>
<String Name="CancelFailure">User Failed to Accept End User License Agreement.</String>
<String Name="GeneralFailure">A fatal error occurred during the installation of ELUA Component Execution</String>
<String Name="AdminRequired">You do not have the permissions required to install this application. Please contact your administrator.</String>
</Strings>

</Package>

That is where I got the code to make the bootstrapper. When I run my clickonce program using that code I do get the EULA displayed at the beginning. However, if I click "I Accept" it just stays at the "Installing ... End User License Agreement" screen and doesn't do anything (after 10 minutes I gave up). Any ideas why?

I am dealing with the same issue. Did you find a solution?
