Hi all,

Im getting a UnauthorizedAccessException when deploying a newer version of an app I have previously deployed successfully.

Have tried removing all traces of the App and re-installing, same deal.

The app is actually successfully installed and I am able to run it by using the actual exe, just not sure why the appref-ms is being installed to the framework\v2.0....... directory instead of the start menu Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Patrick,

> The app is actually successfully installed and I am able to run it by using the actual exe,

Do you see the shortcut for the ClickOnce application in the start menu?

> just not sure why the appref-ms is being installed to the framework\v2.0....... directory instead of the start menu

I'm not sure the reason of this problem. Perhaps the current user's profile is corrupted. You may have a try deleting the current user's profile, e.g. c:\users\username or c:\documents and settings\username.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

If you don't want to remove the entire profile, try deleting the Apps\2.0 folder first. This seems to fix a multitude of problems like this, with no explanation whatsoever aside from cleaning it out.

Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\
