No Touch deployment

[Steve]

I have been trying in several posts to get more
information about No Touch Deployment.

I wrote a windows app in VB.NET that I would like to
update/upgrade over the internet.

Could somebody please let me know how to do that. I can
not find any examples that explains that technique.

Thank you,

Steve

Steve,

If you google No-Touch deployment you will find many samples, but if you use
an App.Config file it appears that you are out of luck. In short, if you
have a simple VB.NET project that can be installed via XCOPY and does not
necessarily access secured resources:

(1) Right click on the BIN folder and choose "web sharing" and create a name
to share this folder
(2) Go in to IIS administrator and select the project you just created in
step 1 and allow for anonymous access
(3) Optionally give the the Application Name on the "Virtual Directory" tab

(4) go to another machine and type in the URL:
http://yourmachine/yoursharename/yourapplication.exe

Dan,

thank you very much for your reply. I did as instructed,
and now I get an security.security exception. The folder
does allow anonimous. Do you have any idea what I am
missing?

Steve,
Is the web server reporting the exception (e.g. is the error showing up in a
web page) or are you getting an application message box error?

If it is the latter then you need to reconfigure you .net security using the
..NET Configuration 1.1 tool.

Check the follwing links unfortunately I am in a similar boat with no help
to be found.

Hello,

I have been looking at this tread and have a couple of suggestions:
Go to Control Panel - Admin Tool - MS Net Framework [version] wizard
then set the trusts. I would suggest full trust

next

If deploying to a remote machine you also need to set up a trust the
URL from which this download this is done in the command prompt (I am
sure there is a wizard somewhere )
syntax
Caspol -machine -addgroup 1 -url "<http://www.mydownloadsite.com/*>"
FullTrust

Next I would verify that you assembiles are in the download cache
gacutil /ldl

this should fix your issue
