In VS2005, I have setup an application to use ClickOnce deployment. .NET 2.0 is a prerequisite and I have the option checked to download prerequisites from same location as the application. dotnetfx.exe for 2.0 is included in the deployment files. In the past, the ClickOnce deployment would successfully install .NET 2.0 if necessary to the client machine.
Recently, however, if the client machine does not have .NET 2.0, ClickOnce only will go to the web and install .NET 3.5 (which is not a prerequisite and not used by this application and not even installed on the development machine).
Has anyone seen this behavior? Why is the ClickOnce installer going to the web and getting .NET 3.5 when it should be getting .NET 2.0 from the deployment location?
thanks.
