Can Anyone tell me what the heck is going on?? This is getting very frustrating.

Thanks

OK. Here it is.

The access denied error in our case was definitely in the registry entry that ClickOnce needs to access. The user could not even open the key HKCU\Software\Classes

After creating a new domain user and trying that one, then trying the old domain user on a different computer and having both of those work we checked at the file level what was actually different in the users Local Settings between the machines that worked and those that did not. We have found (at least for our case) the corruption.

It is:
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

Deleting this file (with a different, sufficiently privileged user otherwise the file will be locked) causes it to be recreated on the next login. After that the ClickOnce install works just fine thanks.

(disclaimer: I have no idea what other effects re-creating that file may have, but it looks like that file controls access to the users Software\Classes registry key and don't think any application could access that registry key as it was anyway...)

Hope this helps someone.

Yep, I have the same problem too. There is nothing in the cache nor in the control panel, this is the first ClickOnce app that I am trying to install on the machine...

The user is not an admin, but I have already installed this app on other machines where the user just a normal user.

I checked just to make sure and the user can write to the cache location (C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings). There is nothing installed in the GAC by this application.
In fact, it is not just this app, but all apps (at least from the same publish point - i have not tried from elsewhere) that fail in the same way.

I am at a loss for the moment... Any way to find out exactly what is causing the UnauthorizedAccessException?

I found this link which might help, Bottom bit says.

"OK, desktop support found that there was corruption in the local
settings folder. They fixed this by deleting the local settings folder
and logging back in, causing the OS to recreate the local settings
folder. After that, ClickOnce worked."

kinda sounds like fun, but what about all that user's other settings?
I might go to that thread and ask the same thing.

Useful to know ;-)

I tried this to no avail. Deleting the userclass.dat does create a new one but

the same problem recurrs with the new one. A new user has no problem. But I cannot simply delete the user

profile. That is completely unacceptable! Anybody know how to resolve this issue where GetUserStore()

returns Access Denied?

Hello all,

I am having a similar issue when trying to run a clickonce app on a machine for a user that does not have admin rights. After launching the app, I get the following error: "dfsvc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It works fine for admin users. How do you find the details that were included in the Error report at the start of this thread. Is there a log file somewhere?

Thanks

You get the error log when you launch your xbap app by using the command line

Presentationhost.exe <your-path-here> in IE7 with no other instances of IE running.

I got the same problem (a clickonce app that runs for user with admin rights but not for users without admin rights) - I found that creating a shortcut to the app worked

e.g. if the app is called ABDEF.exe the shortcut is to

C:\Documents and Settings\username[.domain]\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\9JN9HTAJ.Q0W\T68PMJWC.Q62\ABCD..tion_0d8b36799f05b235_0001.0000_5051032469f696aa\ABDEF.exe

This works for now, but I don't know what will happen when I re-install...

I got "the application cannot be started please contact the vendor" error although the program did work originally. Tried re-installing but didn't work and Add/Remove didn't remove the program! After reading this post I solved the problem by...

Create a new user with Admin rights and log on as them.
Goto C:\Documents and Settings\originalusername[.domain]\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\

Delete any 'Strange' folders, i.e. 9JN9HTAJ.Q0W

Log back in as original user and re-install, worked for me.

I don't know how common this problem is. When we have this problem, we know which files are ours, and only delete those files and folders. I have sent a list of the folders to a customer a couple of times.

We haven't seen any case where you can't uninstall the application and reinstall it and have it work.

So assuming that you using a third party reference in the application. Does the com object have a seperate install need?

Is this is the first computer you have a had this problem on ? Or does it happen with all of the machine you try to install the clickonce app onto which are not development machines ?

My best guess at the moment is that you need the third party com object on the production machines this might have to be a seperate install?

James

Is the COM component the Microsoft Office Interop stuff? Or is it something different? If it's Office, you need to deploy the Interop tools as a prerequisite (they show up if you have VS2008 SP-1).

If it's not Office, you will probably need to write an msi package to install the COM component in the GAC. Then you can deploy this package as a prerequisite. You can add it to the prerequisites in Visual Studio using the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator.

We have published this click once is a server. While the client is trying to contact the server and download the updates this exception is occuring. This is not happening with other clients.

Help me out in this regard

Thanks

I don't know where the dll it's looking for came from. Maybe you have it installed on the other computers, but not this one.

I assume you are pushing the (right version of the) .Net Framework as a prerequisite?

Just do it :)

1-Download delprof.msi
2-Delete wrong user profiles

You can use this to deal with such cases

Akshay... this project doesn't exist even though you posted this recently. is there a different URL?
