Hello everybody,

I am trying to deploy an application using ClickOnce, but i have a problem:
sometimes in IE the .application file cannot be interpreted. What I already
know, to save you some time / posts:
- I am not referring to the problem in FF or other browsers:
http://blogs.msdn.com/saurabh/archive/2006/03/02/541988.aspx . I am referring
to IE, specifically 6.0.2
- The computer on which i see the problem has .NET 2.0 installed
- The application which i am referring to can be installed on other machines
(at least with IE 7 which i tried so far).

Thanks,
 
Assuming you have checked the file associations and nothing is out of whack
there,
this means that IE is not the default browser. You need to check it in the
IE settings.

By the way, if you deploy a ClickOnce application with VS2008, even if you
are targeting the .Net 2.0 framework,
the resulting deployment will work without plug-ins on Firefox, Opera, and
Safari, and you will rarely (if ever)
see this problem again.

You're welcome. My company deploys their product using ClickOnce, and the
Firefox/Opera/Safari and IE-not-being-the-default-browser issues have been a
headache. I managed to justify the upgrade of VS (and the purchase of TFS
:-) through solving that problem alone.

LOL! I think they can tell from the check we had to write them to upgrade
the developers to TFS! :-D

Good luck!
