We have just developed a system where the client Winforms communicate with a middle tier via .NET remoting.  Everything works fine when running the client from Visual Studio or from a complied exe file.  However, when running the client app via Zero touch deployment we receive strange remoting errors.  The errors seem to be saying that our remoting channel has already been registered.  Why do we only receive this error when using the app via Zero touch deployment?  Any ideas?

by Zero touch do you mean ClickOnce ?

If so can you run your app diretly from the installed location (not through the start menu short cut) and see if you get the same problem ?

This is not same as ClickOnce..

Though I am not completely familiar with the "zero touch" stuff here is what I would assume would be happening. Broadly stated, To do remoting related operations the application needs full trust (unrestrictred permissions in terms of CAS). when you download and run using "Zero Touch" deployment I would assume that you are getting less permissions than the unrestrictred permissions. so the exceptions.

If you are using VS 2005 can you considering re-publishing your app with appropriate permission set using clickOnce
