Hi, the Excel add-in project registers and works fine from Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 (.Net 4), but publishing it as a clickonce deployment fails to install. The loader is the latest beta version 5.0.2026.

What are the steps to configure a new setup project for this?

Hi Yuri.

Please compile your project for .NET v2.0 - v3.5. It should fix the issue.

I wish I could :)

Unfortunately other team members are heavily using c# 4 features (default parameter values, covariance, etc) in their libraries which I need.

I have created a setup package which seems to work ok. Do you have any estimate on when the adxlauncher.exe will be capable of running in .NET 4?

Thanks!

Yuri, I am not sure but most likely we will not rebuild our ClickOnce solution for .NET 4.0 as we are going to add a new Web Deployment solution to all our products. As to the issue, please try to use a config file for the adxlauncher (adxlauncher.exe.config) so that it loads .NET v4 instead of v2.0. I haven't tested it but I think it should work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0.21006"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

Thanks, it worked!

My steps: added adxlauncher.exe.config, set its copy property to "copy if newer", and made sure its included in the publish wizard's list.

Unfortunately found a related issue: BadImageFormatException while uninstalling a clickonce program from control panel. After this error message, it said that everything was successful.

Sergey or Andrei, any ideas on this issue? True, its not as important as installing, but I'm worried that updates might fail unexpectedly.

Hi Yuri.

I get the same result. I will try to fix it in the next build. It will be published in January.
