clickonce problem

[Mike Read]

I have created an dotnet 2.0, vb.net application and deployed it using
clickonce. Application is running successfully on about 20 computers within
our organization.

However I have one computer that does not work, when you click on the
application shortcut from start -> all programs -> application the dialog
box comes up showing that it is downloading the latest updates, completes
downloading all required files and then the application just shuts down.

I have taken the files and copied them to a temp directory on this computer
and ran this application and the application runs successfully.

The only thing that is different about this particular computer is that when
the techs set it up the new user they just repointed an existing profile
from an prior employee to be mapped to the existing employee.

I suspect that this remapping of an existing profile is the cause, but the
techs are not wanting to rebuild the computer with the proper profiles
setup.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could start?

create a new user on this computer which will also create a new profile.
test the app withthe new user. if it works, you found the problem

I tried that, same result as before, program downloads the updates then
shuts down.

Did you try deinstalling and reinstalling the application? That might clear
up any pointer problems ClickOnce is having.
