I need to change a database configuration in app.config.exe in a one click application. I looked up several information in creating the deployment in MageUI. http://danielbergsten.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/change-application-configuration-in-an-already-published-clickonce-app/ http://community.discountasp.net/showthread.php?t=14370 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7082410/clickonce-setup-exe-fails-but-the-application-file-works-fine-when-using-a-wind I found this link to seem the most direct but I did not get rid of my error from following this link either. ClickOnce and mageUI adding custom file folder problems. Actually this is exactly what I am looking for in a solution except the solution in the link given did not work for me.
I) I tried several combinations to see if it would work. 1) sign manifest in application version folder . (.manfest file) 2) sign application deployment in root folder and using newly signed manifest (.application) 3) copy it over to application version.
II) 1) sign manifest in application version folder . (.manfest file) 2) sign application deployment using new manifest. 3) copy application deployment to application version and then sign it again using new manifest in application folder.
III) 1) sign manifest and check add .deploy. 2) sign application deployment in root folder. 3) copy application deployment to application folder.
I am not getting any luck in resolving the error I am getting. The error I get is when I try running the one application from DEV web server environment is. I get a 404 error and the config file is not found. If I publish the application from VS it works good. The issue is I need to change only a production database value and I do not want to publish from VS2010 and Ijust want to use the .exe and config directly from production and just change the config and resign everything using the MageUI. I am trying to do the resign on DEV environment to see if the resigning works when deployed to DEV so I could do the same steps on production. DEV deployment after resigning FAILS. Please do not suggest mage becuase I am just not able to run mage as a command line though I would like to know how I can do it. I tried that and I get mage not found but MageUI works good. I am not sure what step I am missing here. Here is the full error stack trace when I try opening this one click application link using the webserver where I deployed it to.
