I saw a link to one of those (I thought it was this thread??), but it
seemed pretty elaborate for just putting a shortcut on the desktop.
But since you ask, sure. :)
Please forgive the wrapping problem below. I had to convert this from
C#, so I hope it's ok. It does compile. It's just been a while since I
was
fortunate enough to work in VB. :-(

It's a pretty handy piece of code. Our users like having a desktop

Thanks! I will probably work it over and see if I can use the My
namespace in a few places. I think I can use Application.Inf o, for
instance. That might "cheapen" it a little, but it will make it easier
for me to remember what it is doing. :-)

By the way, got any bright ideas on changing a ClickOnce app to a new
digital signature? I have googled it, and found various things, but
nothing so far that is very appetizing. Or is there something new on that
in VS 2008?

Ugh, I have the same problem. We have thousands of customers, and I have
until July to figure out a way to update our certificate without making
everybody uninstall and reinstall.

Someone posted a comment to one of these groups that this is fixed in
VS2008, but color me skeptical. I've actually sent an e-mail to Brian
Noyes (who wrote the ClickOnce book) asking that very question. And I
think I saved something somewhere about it. I'll see if I can track it
down. If I have to, I have friend at MSFT who knows some ClickOnce
people... I'll report back. I have to say, that is the most unfortunate
feature of ClickOnce deployment.

Sorry for the late response. Been working lotsa hours.

This actually has been fixed in VS2008. If you change the signing
certificate, it will no longer require that your users deinstall and
reinstall the application.

I want to provide a small Click Once application to a small number of selected users, when the application is published on an otherwise public web server (I don't want everyone to have access to my application). My first solution was to setup a virtual directory (the publish location) with "Anonymous Access" turned off - setting up a special username and password for it which I give to my selected users.

I have an application that I've used click-once deployment to publish out to a shared network path. From there I installed the app on a few client machines, including my own. Since then I published a few updates that were recognized by the app, and the users installed them, so everyone's on the most current version. A couple of glitches are now showing up. 1. One of my users received a prompt when she opened up the app that there is a...

Greetings, I have been using the Click Once deployment feature of VS2005 - very nice. I had IE6 at the time when I started using Click Once Deployment, and everything worked fine. But then my workstation got upgraded to IE7, and now whenever I deploy an application and IE7 comes up for the Install page - it just says "Connecting..." and just hangs, and then I have to manually end the program. I did not have this problem with IE6. Are...

Hello, My workstation has been automatically updating IE6 to IE7. When this happens I have a problem with Click Once deployment (VS2005). What happens is that I can still publish applications - which brings up IE. In IE6 this would bring up IE to the install page of the deployed app (server\...\publish.htm). Now it just brings up IE7 and hangs. It will say "connecting..." and just hangs there so I have to close down IE and I get the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
