Hello,
I've got a clickonce application that I am publishing to our local intranet and will eventually be publishing to our customer's intranets. I ideally want it to download the .NET framework from the intranet aswell, rather than from microsoft's website, as using the internet would take longer.
I am using VB express 2005, and no matter whether I select 'download prerequisites from same location as my application' or 'download prerequisites from this location' it still chooses to try to download WinFX 3.0 beta 2 from Microsoft. I don't really want customers using Beta software either, and they only need .NET 2.0 which is a smaller download anyway than WinFX 3.0 Beta 2.
I've followed the guidelines in http://blogs.msdn.com/clickonce/with no success. What steps can I take to solve this?
I've got a folder called DotNetFX, containing dotnetchk.exe, dotnetfx.exe, InstMsiA.exe, product.xml, and WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe, and a subfolder called en with eula.txt and package.xml in it....Should the 'download from following location...' textbox specify the URL of the folder that contains dotnetfx.exe, the actual URL of dotnetfx.exe itself, or the parent folder of the DotNetFX folder? I've not seen anywhere that makes this clear.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
