Thanks in advance

Hi Kenneth
Yes, it seems that using an intermediate version to launch setup.exe is the
only workaround we have now.
Anyway, if you need further help, please feel free to post, thanks

Clickonce update fails when Framework upgrade is required
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).
My publish prerequisites are updated to include 3.5 Framework and Windows
Installer 3.1 as prerequisites.
As a test, the 2.0 version of my application is installed on a Windows XP
Pro, SP2 machine with only the 2.0 Framework. When the app sees the available
update, the install fails with a ???System Update Required" dialog box whose
contents read
"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.
Initial installations of the 3.5 application works fine
Can anyone shed light on the error message and perhaps the implications of
trying to update the .NET Framework during an application update that
requires said framework update

Hi Kenneth
I have added a reply to you in the original thread for this issue, it seems
that you missed it.
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

Thanks Jeffrey,
I apologize, I did miss your post in the original thread.
Your answer is helpful, however, it leads me to a new question. My
application is set to update before the application starts, how do I
interrupt that process to prompt users to re-run setup.exe.? I would also ask
if the process in some way could be automated to appear as an update?
I have two deployment scenerios: internal and external consumers. Internal
is less of an issue because, once available as a wsus update, I could
pre-deploy the 3.5 framework. External users are my real concern because my
app is my only link to them.

Hi Kenneth,Thanks for your feedback.By design, Setup.
Hi Kenneth,
Thanks for your feedback.
By design, Setup.exe is supposed to run once before the installation of v1
so there is no seamless way of getting it executed during auto-update at
this time.
After discussing with the ClickOnce deployment team, we can think of some
tricks like : Publish a new version v2 which is an intermediate version
just to install the actual new version. v2 launches Setup.exe upon first
run etc. to get some auto-update behavior. But it will not look seamless
unfortunately.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

You've confirmed what I believed to be my best option; to deploy an
