ClickOnce returns XML instead of starting application

[Thomas Jespersen]

Hi

I just deployed a ClickOnce Application to a Windows 2000 Server, which only
has .NET 1.1 installed.

When I launch the application via the auto generated html page I get the
..Application XML back. I was expecting the application to launch.

If I deploy the same SmartClient to my local XP machine with .NET 2.0, the
applications installs and starts just fine.

Am I missing something? Do I need to install .NET 2.0 on the Windows 2000
server, or do I need to register some MIME types on the server? If so, could
you please provide a link (I can't find anything in the documentation... but
I found place that said that I should be able to deploy to any HTTP 1.1
compliant web server).

Please help.

Thomas

Rocky Lhotka, has a quick blog to help you map the proper mime types.

Hi Brian

Thanks. Now it works.

I first added the Mime Types on the server (on the Web site root), but it
didn't work. Then I removed the virtual directory and de a republich using
the Click Once wizard. And now it works.
