COMPONENT STORE TRANSACTION DETAILS
No transaction information is available.

No difference required. The problem isn't Vista per se.

Are you signing your deployment, even with a test certificate? Are you publishing it with Visual Studio, and if so, which version? Are you including the .Net framework as a prerequisite or you're 100% certain the right version of the .Net framework is installed?

Hi Robin,
Thanks for you reply.
Yes we are signing it with a key. We are using VS 2005 for building the setup. I am not sure of that but the machine on which i am running the setup is a development machine and has .NET framework.

Can you reckon anything else which can be the cause of the problem?

P.S: i even ran the iexplorer with admin rights so as to avoid the rights issue.

regards,
jay

Just FYI, you shouldn't have to run IE with admin rights. ClickOnce should not require any privileges to install it, except for the prerequisites, which aren't part of the ClickOnce portion of the deployment.

Are you pushing the right version of the .Net framework as a prerequisite?

Are you running Windows Updates on that machine?

If you change the app to be online & offline, does the installation work?
