Click Once Automatically Updating

We have 3 out ofaround 30 computers that are automatically updating the winforms application.The developer wants these 3 computers to prompt to skip or install like the othersdo and he thinks it's a permissions issue. I'm not sure, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?

Thanks.

That's bizarre. (Not what you want to hear, I know.)

Are those 3 computers running the same version of the application as the other users, and is it the same deployment in the same installation url as the other users?

Hi Tigeradmin,

Based on my understanding, you have about 30 computers and you can launch the installed ClickOnce application and upgrade it if there's a newer version on all these computers except 3. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

Ifthere isn't any difference between these 3 problematic computers and others, e.g. the installed OS version and the installation URL of the ClickOnce application, I suspect the problem is caused by the user profile of the user that installed the ClickOnce application.

You may have a try like this - uninstall the ClickOnce application from the problematic computers anddelete that user's profile(%systemdir% \users\username or %systemdir%\Documents and Settings\username). Log onthe computer as that userand then reinstall the ClickOnce application again to see if the problem is fixed.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Thank you very much..
I will give that a try...
One computer is vista. The other two are XP pro.. And everything is pointing to the same location.

I'll let you know if this solves the problem...
We'll be rolling out a new version in a few days - so I'll be able to test it then.
