I hope someone can help me. I'm working on a desktop application, which uses the click once install and update logic.

We've been using it for some time now without issues, but some of our clients are now using roaming profiles and this seems to remove the installation, on log off. This means our clients need to download and install the application each time they log back onto the PC.

Has anyone had this issue and more important got a work around?

Thanks

  • Thanks Stuart. We have found a way to resolve it to a number of clients by changing a group policy. There are a number of clients that this doesn't fix this issue. I was wondering if there could be anything else? – Chris Cooper Apr 16 '18 at 07:50

I know now, officially Click once does not support, but there is always a way around. I have create a simple application that works around this issue.
