Hi,

I have a Clickonce application currently deployed with .NET 2.0 as a
prerequisite. This application has been updated to use features in .NET 3.5,
(file association). When my current app sees the available update the install
fails because the .NET 3.5 framework is not present. Initial installations
are fine.

How do I enforce installing of a prerequisite upon update of a Clickonce
application?

If you want the application to use .Net 3.5 features, you must deploy it
with .Net 3.5 as a prerequisite. Are you deploying it with .Net 3.5 checked
as a prerequisite under the <Prerequisites> section of the Publish page
rather than .Net 2.0?

Hi Kenneth,

You need to select .NET Framework 3.5 as a prerequisite when you publish
the upgraded application.

To do this, right click the project item in the Solution Explorer in VS2008
and choose 'Properties'. In the Project Designer, switch to the 'Publish'
tab and click the 'Prerequisites...' button.

In the Prerequisite dialog, select the checkbox before the 'Create setup
program to install prerequisite components' option and select the checkbox
before the '.NET Framework 3.5' item in the list.

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Thanks for the responses RobinS and Linda.
I apologize, because I neglected to tell you that I had already checked 3.5
Framework and 3.1 Windows Installer as prerequisites. Below is the text from
the "System Update Required" dialog box thats displayed when an installed 2.0
Clickonce application detects an update requiring the 3.5 Framework.

"Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that
assembly WindowsBase Version 3.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly
Cache (GAC) first.

More information on this system update can be found by visiting the site
here."

The machine you are trying to install it on -- what OS is it running?

XP sp2, I know 3.5 is not supported by Win2K. Remeber inital install work
correctly, the problem only surfaces when upgrading the app from 2.0 to 3.5.

Robin,

Is your Company's ClickOnce implementation for internal software or external
users? Also, what have you noticed about the bandwidth requirements of
running a ClickOnce application? Is ClickOnce very "chatty" or does it
require careful planning to contain bandwidth costs?

Thanks!

Jim

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for the feedback.

My colleage Linda is out of office for vacation, so I will continue help
you on this issue. I have discussed this issue with the ClickOnce
deployment team, they confirmed that the only way to install prerequisites
is to run the bootstrapper, Setup.exe published by VS. Update through
shortcut will not get prerequisites installed.

You should run Setup.exe from the publish location. This will install the
prereqs and update the application as well.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Hi Jeffrey,

Is your company's ClickOnce app deployed across a LAN, WAM or the internet?
