Determine ClickOnce UpdateUri / Install Address

2 years ago

by Bernhard Millauer in All others

Its hard to find Informations about the place where the UpdateUri is saved on a windows machine.
The only information i was found is where the binaries of a ClickOnce application is stored.

This whould be:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\ (Vista)
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\ (XP)

The UpdateUri of a particular application can be found in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[APP-ID]\UrlUpdateInfo

The key will contain a string like this:
http://somedomain.com/ApplicationName/ApplicationName.application

If this address is called in the browser (InternetExplorer or Firefox with AddOn), the application starts to install.

If you change the ApplicationName.application to publish.htm, a install page will be displayed.

Hey,

i’ve stopped using webhostforasp.net because they are slow, has a bad and old customer panel and no extras like subdomains and so on AND, they have a slooow connection.

dreamhost is a nice hoster, good support (so far) and the impression is a good one!

so go forth dreamhost and be the good guys!
