ClickOnce deployment and Terminal Services

[GordonS]

I have a windows form application being deployed using ClickOnce on Terminal
Services.

I am experiencing a problem where by the first user to run up the
application is successful and the app downloads and launches successfuly,
however if a second user logs on to terminal services and attempts to launch
the app then the "Verifying applications. This may take a few moments"
message does appear briefly and then disappears but no application is
launched.

I assume this is a configuration issue but don't really know where to look,
any ieads gratefully recieved.

Hi Gordon,

however if a second user logs on to terminal services and attempts to

launch the app then the "Verifying applications. This may take a few
moments" message does appear briefly and then disappears but no application
is launched.

Do you see a launch error dialog showing at this time? If yes, could you
please show us the detailed error messages?

What version of IIS you publish the ClickOnce application to?

I performed a test based on your description but didn't reproduce the
problem. The following are my test steps:

1. Publish a ClickOnce application to a web server with IIS 7.
2. Remote desk to a machine A from a machine B.
3. Launch the ClickOnce application via the url
"http://servername/TestApplication/TestApplication.application".
4. The ClickOnce application is installed and launched properly.
5. Remote desk using another user account to the machine A from the machine
B.
6. Launch the ClickOnce application via the url
"http://servername/TestApplication/TestApplication.application".
7. The ClickOnce application is installed and launched properly.

I am experiencing the same problem. I followed the same steps that you
described above with different results. If one user is running the app, the
second user cannot open it (same behavior as Gordon described above). The
only difference in my environment from your test is that I published to a
Windows 2003 server with IIS6. I also tried publishing to and installing from
a network share with the same results. Any help is appreciated.

Nevermind. I found code in my app that was making sure only one instance of
itself was running. Oops! Works fine now.
