ClickOnce Problems

I have a small windows test application that I'm attempting to deploy. I can deploy it to my hard drive, transfer it to a memory stick, and successfully install it on another computer. I can deploy it to a website, when the website opens and I click on Run or Install (depending on the type of deployment) a new webpage, myTestApp.application, is displayed. The page is an XML file. That is as far as the deployment goes! There are no error messages and no clues to help me solve this problem. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Its a common issue with people starting out on web deployed click once.

Its often the MIME types on the server have not been established. You can do this by install .NET 2.0 framework on the server or my manually setting up the MIME types on the server. Once in place then things should work for you.

I think what he is trying to ask is this:

Why does the (thing) show up as XML

I still don't get it so :-|

But I hope that's what he's asking
if Grandpa is, then I don't have any answer

This is the webpage that attempts to install the application.

ReneeC,

Thanks for your, response. Skilled user Ha, you're just being sweet to me because it's Father's Day!

I have attempted the ClickOnce deployment several times. When I deploy to the Hard Disk there is no problem. When I deploy to a website, a webpage is created on the website. Clicking on the Run or Install button, on that webpage, does not run or install the application on my computer. It opens an XML file named, myTestApp.application, in the browser.

Hi Grandpa - you skilled user...you.

Could you have glossed over the problem I keep reading it and I miss what the problem is.

Knvb1123,

And, thanks for your response too! Yes, that is what I was trying to ask. I wish I had a different question that you could answer, but today that is my problem.

Spotty,

Thanks, that post was the answer to my problem. The server hosting my website needed a modification. The administrator needed to associate the .application extension with content type "application/x-ms-application"

ClickOnce publishing is pretty cool!
