I'm trying to install a .net 2.0 smart-client application that uses the
"click once" deployment method in a Citrix environment.

If we log in as the admin on Citrix, we are able to install the application,
but when we use a "normal" account that has very few privelages, we get the
following error

I believe the main issue is the temporary profile...

I've searched a lot on the web and could not find an answer... any help is
appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

For some reason, Microsoft has marked it as resolved. If you think this is
your problem, you could validate and vote for it.
