I have a click once windows forms application using CR 2008 that also has a purchased code signing certificate (PFX) from Comodo.
I've worked around the "bug" with the "Publish Now" button in the Publish tab (as in the Publish now button doesn't correctly locate and in include all the necessary DLLs such as XMLSerialization) and use the method to select startup project and then use the Menu | Build | Publish (which starts the Publish wizard). So far so good.
I've successfully been publishing for the past week or so, then I decided to change my Publish directoryfrom
www.mywebsite.com/ClickOnceApps/ to
www.mywebsite.com/ClickOnceApps/MyAppNameand now when I publish (from Menu) it takes 30 minutes!!! I see a "Verifying...(1 of 108)". Bare in mind the files are actually being published to my local hard drive (c:\intepub\wwwroot\mywebsite\ClickOnceApps\MyAppName) so I really don't understand why this process that used to take 15 seconds is now taking 30 minutes??
