#Visual studio 2019 change install location update#

When I publish to each of this servers independently, each works fine, updating versions ok.Д«ut when I set the environment to move from server to the other (deploying that вЂњbridgeвЂќ version with the update URL pointing to the new server), I get an error related to the permissions. In my case, we need to move from one machine to another and the ipвЂ™s and URLвЂ™s are completely diffrent. But in your example the machine where de deployments вЂњliveвЂќ is the same. Thanks for the helpful video ant article.

It looks like either MS plugged this helpful hole, or I am doing something wrong. If you reinstall the application, be aware that you might lose any customizations that you made to the application. You can start it from location or you can uninstall it and reinstall it from location.

You cannot start application from location it is already installed from location. Should this still Work in VS 2010 targetting 3.5? The steps seem straight forward, and I believe I have followed them carefully, but I am getting the following error which seems to explicitly state I cannot change the update location: Just put in the links to the fileshare instead of the web URL. This should work even if you are using a fileshare. Unfortunately, my new deployment server is a fileshare ////, rather than a webserver ( That means my users need to uninstall and reinstall. If you could specify multiple update locations, how would the ClickOnce engine decide which one to get the update from? Just keep trying each one until it finds one it can actually use? This would increase the amount of time it takes to pull updates, unless the first address in the list was available. For example, instead of, use where this is a DNS entry pointing to the same IP address as. If you are deploying from a webserver, one thing you can do is use a DNS entry instead of the server address. That is part of how you move a deployment. You can specify a URL for the updates in the Updates dialog in Visual Studio. IвЂ™m not sure what you mean by an option in the manifest allowing installation of updates from a different server. This makes sure someone canвЂ™t hijack your userвЂ™s deployment and send him to another location to install files that are malicious. The deal is that the location of the deployment is part of the application identity, and is checked for security when checking for updates. If you can no longer update server1, then you do, indeed, have to have your users uninstall and reinstall. What about users who access a server by different names depending on if they are in the office or over a vpn? In all these situations, what if this is a вЂњproductвЂќ and not for internal development? I canвЂ™t change the manifest in these situations! What if you are no longer able to update server 1? Then your users are forced to uninstall / re-install? IвЂ™d like an option in the manifest that allows installation of updates from a different server. Thanks for the explanation вЂ“ You made it look easy!Д«utвЂ¦. Thank you for taking the time to document this!

VSTO doesnвЂ™t use the update URL at all, so it looks like your customers have to uninstall and reinstall if you have to move a VSTO deployment. (edit) I couldnвЂ™t see how this could work with an Office Solution (VSTO), so I did some looking around.

If you are a VB developer and canвЂ™t figure out how to translate the code to VB, please post a comment and IвЂ™ll post a VB version of the code.

#Visual studio 2019 change install location download#

This download contains the source code (VS2008, C#) for the three versions of the application used in the video. This video will show you how to move your deployment to a different URL. This keeps someone from hijacking your deployment and substituting their own files. It checks the update location for the installed application against the URL for the update, and if they donвЂ™t match, it wonвЂ™t install the new version. You canвЂ™t just change the URL because itвЂ™s part of the security built in to ClickOnce. You might want to move your deployment because your company is setting up a new webserver, or because you change hosting companies for your deployment. One of the questions I see in the MSDN ClickOnce Forum is how to move a ClickOnce deployment to a different location.
