Hi,
I want to consult with you regarding a problemI amtrying to solve.
I am using ClickOnce to publish a client application.
During development I used a local server name (in my network) as published server and the installation worked fine.
Now I am preparing the application for installation in any site so I need to know what will be the best way to do it - so it can be installed from any server name.
The following links to thedocumentation from MSDN with all the options:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/31kztyey(VS.80).aspx
I triedthe "publish to file share" option (UNC) in Visual Studio 2005 but it generates in the installation files thename of the server which it will be published (hard coded) and it's not editable. (if we manually try to edit the file after publish we get error in signature validation).
For example. If I will type the string "localhost" at the "Installation URL" field from the project properties window of VS2005- and then I will publish - Then the generated file "MyApplication1.application" will containt the REAL server name, so I won't be able to use the word "localhost" to reffer to it as an unknown server name and to publish it as as general setup publish file.
I did not try to publish to web since I do not know if it is secure.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Avivit
