This is nuts... and totally frustrating. For some reason, when I Publish a ClickOnce app, it appears to go to go to a clean EOJ, throws up the install website, installs, and RUNS... but can't be found after that.

I do find it buried deep in the User subdirectories, but there is nothing added to All Programs nor anything that can be "uninstalled"... nor any error events.

It USE to work... and other Published apps from workstations different than mine install just fine still, so it is not a general environment problem. The Publish site install exhibits the same behavior on other workstations. I run the install, the app comes up at that time, but can't be found once I close it.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio 2008 and created the simplest of all apps... a WinForm app with a "Test Me" label. It compiles and publishes just fine... but only accessible during the Publish process after the install web page comes up,and nowhere to be found after that, other than in the buried User subfolder, which is difficult to find.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this most annoying of bugs?

(BTW, I am running Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite on Vista Ultimate x86... all service packs are current.)

BTW, no idea what "EOJ" stands for. End of Journey? Eggs on Jelly? Effortless Orderly Job? ExtraOrdinary Janitor?

I don't believe this is a bug; it sounds like a picnic problem. (problem in chair, not in computer) ;-)

My guess is that you have the application set to run online-only. Change this to "run online and offline", and it will appear in Add/Remove programs and in the Start menu.

Unbelievable. I did everything but click that radio button stareing me right in the face. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

( FYI... EOJ is End of Job. :) )

That's the way it usually goes! <g> Glad it helped.

Yep... Kinda like staring at the same code for hours only to discover the error was due to a misplaced period. <g>

Thanks, again.
