Greetings,

I am getting this error when trying to launch a ClickOnce app. I searched around, but didn't seem to find anything applicable.

This is happening on one of my development machines, but the app lauches fine on another. Before today, it worked fine on both.

In addition, I cannot uninstall the application. When I try, it looks like there's a brief message box, but it disappears so quickly you can't tell what it says.

Below is the log file. I'm not sure if I'm reading it correctly - not sure which assembly it thinks is not on my system.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Delete the \apps\2.0\ folder (assuming you don't have any other ClickOnce apps) and try the install again.

On Vista, that folder is under C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\

On XP, try c:\Documents & Settings\User\LocalSettings\Apps\2.0\

Thanks RobinS,

I did have other ClickOnce apps installed, but nothing that can't be installed again. Your suggestion worked - appreciated.

Thanks again,

Mike

Hello from Mexico...

RobinDotNet, muchas gracias por tu ayuda.

Segui tus recomendaciones y mi aplicacion ya se ejecuta de manera normal. Borre la carpeta que comentas y fue como si no hubiera pasado nada.

Thanks again.

With the help of Bing Translator, I was able to ascertain that you were thanking me rather than insulting me. ;-)

You're welcome for the help. :-)
