Clickonce app is monochrome on Vista...? Any ideas?

Hi all!

This is my first post here, I recently graduated and my employer just got me an MSDN subscription and has me working on a Clickonce app.

This is a really weird problem and I've been utterly frustrated trying to find a solution. My clickonce app is monochrome on Vista. It works fine, it's just all black and white (and gray of course). It's fine on XP. I've googled my brains out on this but can't figure it out. There aren't any errors, it's just monochrome. Any ideas?

Thanks a ton!

Build your application in either release or debug mode, then go to the appropriate folder under the bin folder, copy everything in the folder, paste it into a folder on the machine that shows the app in black & white, and double-click on the exe file. Is it still black & white?

Hello Tim,

Thanks for your posting on MSDN forum.

Could you please be more specific about your ClickOnce application? Is it a WPF application or Windows Form application?

As far as I know, there is nothing special on rendering a ClickOnce application. It should be rendered like a normal application(double-click the executable files). To isolate the problem, as suggested by Robin, please try to run your application directly(either via xcopy or double-click the executable in ClickOnce app-cache, which is %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Apps) to see if the issue still happens, this can help us isolate the issue is about ClickOnce deployment technology or the application itself.
