I have been using ClickOnce for several years. There are some unusual situations on clients that I have never been able to resolve (assemblies don't get updated, random failures, etc.). Recently, I was connected to a utility called AppLife Update. It was promoted in these forums last fall. You can find their product at http://www.kineticjump.com. For the price, it is unbeatable. It is an excellent product with wonderful support (just like StrataFrame!!). I have completed testing on the use of an MSI file being distributed via Group Policy Active Directory (one-time setup, no admin rights necessary--very simple). The ongoing updates are all handled by AppLife. It is slick, chock full of features and very professional looking. You won't be disappointed if you chose that route.

I would like to have some witty comback about the Cowboys, how much they suck, and how much of a choker your QB is, but given the last three games.... better not Sad

Only an Eagles fan would use ClickOnce Wink (You know I am kidding, but I couldn't resist)

Any ClickOnce users that can tell me how to test deployment?

Is it as easy as publishing to alternate location and running from there?

I published (to web) a small application and it is live. I have now made changes, including implementing a new reporting engine, and I want to test the deployment without publishing it to the production site and potentially making unhappy users if I dont have it right.

TIA!
