Problems "publishing" from Visual Basic Express

[Dave]

I've tried to publish my VB Express 2005 application to a web site.

The publish process completes successfully, and I can fire up the ..../publish.htm page from the web site with no problem. There is a button on the install page hyperlinked to ....Myapp.application When I click on that button, the browser simply displays the XML content of Myapp.application and the installation effort stops there.

Any throughts?

What Internet Browser are you using? The install only works with
Microsoft Internet Explorer. (MSIE)

There are 10 kinds of people - Those who understand Binary and those who
don't.

I mean; it's slow; it's a crappy verbose language
