I have a "no touch" deployment app running successfully on XP. All
machines use the 1.1 framework.
When a url specifying an exe file is entered on an XP machine, the exe
is downloaded by the framework (asp.net on the web server machine) and
the exe runs on the "client" machine. The first thing it does is
download an xml file. This works OK on the XP client.
When the same url is entered on a WIN 2000 machine the exe is
downloaded but whe it attempts to download the xml file a
ConfigurationException is thrown. The client is trying to download a
..config file. The .config is tacked on to the end of the url (no
matter how many parameters are on the url) and the request fails. BTW,
there is no config file associated with the executable.
Why is WIN 2000 different than XP in this case? How can I prevent, or
catch, this error? Thx
