Ifthe version deployed (V_3_0_0_3.application) has errors and you want to redeploy a previous version(V_3_0_0_2.application). I noticed that V_3_0_0_2.application is located in the Inetpub wwwroot of the server. Is there a simple way to rollback to this version so that the users use this without having to go to Add/Remove Programs and rollback?

Thanks,

For simplicity of discussion, can you publish a new V_3_0_0_4 version of your application keeping the same contents as V_3_0_0_2 and let your users get it ?

On another note if you are familiar with signing of manifests, you can take you App_V_3_0_0_2.Application rename ittoApp.Applicationand replace the App.Application (which would be currently V_3_0_0_3). Then open the App.Application Change the assemblyIdentity version to V_3_0_0_4. re-sign it. In this case the users will still get an update becasuse the deployment version is updated but they will get the bits of your V_3_0_0_2.

Hope you got the idea

I found this right after I posted this question.

Can admins rollback updates?

ClickOnce support server-side rollback. You should be able to do this without any regeneration or re-signing of manifests. Replace the main deployment manifest (probably V.application in this case) with the version that you want to rollback to andclients should get this the next time they pull down an "update". In your case rename V_3_0_0_2 to V.application and you should be set.
