ClickOnce doens't install application locally

Hello !

I have an Winforms application that uses a component DLL and specific configuration by mean of app.config file.

When I used ClickOnce to install the application on a client computer, a start menu item was added, but it seems that created shortcut points to the internet site where the installation resides. The application wasn't installed locally.

I need to customize the app.config file to accomodate to client environment, but if the application is launched remotely, I cannot do that.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

We have noticed the same thing, when we use ClickOnce the only thing we could find was a shortcut in the start menu

Any help would also be greatly appreciated

thanks

There is an option in the publish screen which will tell if the application can launch offline or only online. Which one did you select?If you want the application to run offline mode then it will point to your local install location. (I think)

I took special care to check "Yes, this application is available online or offline" radio button when I publish the application, and in fact, that is the only option that installs a shortcut menu item.

I also checked "The application is available offline as well (launchable from Start Menu)" radio button in Publish tab of project properties.

Finaly I have found it, it was in a hidden folder, you must check the option (show hidden files and folders in your folder option view tab)

and then go to this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Apps\....then you can search for your application

hope this will help you as it helped me :)

Hi Lama,

Sorry I might have misunderstood. I thought it never installed in your PC. Yes the application when it installed it always stores it under local setting under app and frame work version 2.0 and 2 folders one is data for all the data files to be stored and another folder will be the application files.
