I have been trying in several posts to get more
information about No Touch Deployment.

I wrote a windows app in VB.NET that I would like to
update/upgrade over the internet.

Could somebody please let me know how to do that. I can
not find any examples that explains that technique.

Thank you,

Steve
 
Steve,

If you google No-Touch deployment you will find many samples, but if you use
an App.Config file it appears that you are out of luck. In short, if you
have a simple VB.NET project that can be installed via XCOPY and does not
necessarily access secured resources:

(1) Right click on the BIN folder and choose "web sharing" and create a name
to share this folder
(2) Go in to IIS administrator and select the project you just created in
step 1 and allow for anonymous access
(3) Optionally give the the Application Name on the "Virtual Directory" tab

(4) go to another machine and type in the URL:
http://yourmachine/yoursharename/yourapplication.exe

Dan,

thank you very much for your reply. I did as instructed,
and now I get an security.security exception. The folder
does allow anonimous. Do you have any idea what I am
missing?

Hello,

I have been looking at this tread and have a couple of suggestions:
Go to Control Panel - Admin Tool - MS Net Framework [version] wizard
then set the trusts. I would suggest full trust

next

If deploying to a remote machine you also need to set up a trust the
URL from which this download this is done in the command prompt (I am
sure there is a wizard somewhere )
syntax
Caspol -machine -addgroup 1 -url "<http://www.mydownloadsite.com/*>"
FullTrust

Next I would verify that you assembiles are in the download cache
gacutil /ldl

this should fix your issue
