ClickOnce deployment failing after VS2008 SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1 upgrades

I have been trying for many hours now to restore to my client the working ClickOnce deployment of my VB.NET project to his remote server. Never had any problems for many months, and now I get the fatal error message:

"Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor."

i.e. me!!

I have searched this forum and found the same "Value does not fall within the expected range." error, but alas cannot find a clear solution amongst the postings.

I attach the log file generated when I click on the Detail... button.

HELP!!!

Perhaps I am naive in attributing this to the recent service packs...

Hi Sambodh

Do you mean you just meet this problem after you udate your .Net Framework version and Visual Studio version? Though my duty is about winform develop and deployment, not familiary with the Visual Studio and .Net Framework version update. I will try my best.

From the information you give me, I know that you are using Windows XP. So if you install the .Net Framework package after the IIS, it will have some trouble. This issue won’t happen in the later version of Windows.

So in this issue, I don’t think it is the problem of your ClickOnce application. It related to the .Net update package installation. So I suggest you can contact the .Net Framework and VS update installation forum to ask for the correct step of update. After that please contact me of the ClickOnce issue.

Sincerely,

Kira Qian

Thanks for your reply.

I have resolved the situation by rebuilding my application in a new project, and deploying that without problems. Not the optimum, and fortunately not too large a task to reconstruct the code, mostly cut and paste, but a bit annoying not to know why!
