VS.net 2005 beta and Click once

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, if not please direct me to the
correct place.

I have an application that I was developing, then decided to publish it as a
click once app. It was placed on the web site using the publish command.
When going to download it and install, if 2.0 .net isn't installed the link
is a Setup.exe, but if 2.0 is already the link is to a
ApplicationName.Application.

So here is the issue, when I have the 2.0 framework installed and click on
the link, I get a bunch of XML in IE, it loads the ApplicationName.
Application file instead of installing the application on my machine.

Any suggestions?

Hello Wayne,

Based on my understanding, the problem is: You developed a Winform
application and wanted to use ClickOnce to deploy it. However, the error
happens when .NET framework 2.0 is installed in server side, right?

In the post, there is no detailed steps on how you deploy that ClickOnce
application. Could you please refer to the following article?
"Deploy and Update Your Smart Client Projects Using a Central Server"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/05/clickonce/default.aspx

This article discusses:
Using ClickOnce to deploy real apps
Versioning benefits
Programmatic and automatic updating

It also has a sample application for your reference. Please refer to it for
detailed steps on it.

If you have any unclear, please feel free to post the question in our
Whidbey beta newsgroup. The web link is:

Hope that helps.

Actually the error occurs when the Frame work is installed on the CLIENT
that is trying to download the click once application. The java script in
the HTML detects that you have the frame work installed and sets the link to
ApplicationName.Application. The .Application file is an XML file, instead
of the install kicking off IE just displays the XML contained with in the
file.

I will be taking a look at the links you provided for me over this weekend,
since that's when I have the time to play with the application in question.
