Error launching application after ClickOnce deployment - "An application for this deployment is alre
- by digiduck
As part of my continuous integration build the application is deployed as a ClickOnce application. This works great the first time, but when I try the launch the app after an update has been deployed I get the following error.
An application for this deployment is
already installed with a different
application identity.
If I run mage.exe -cc to clear the application cache for all ClickOnce apps then I can launch the application just fine.
Has anyone run into this before? How can I fix this?
Here are the steps in my build script that publish the ClickOnce application.
./tools/windows_sdk/mage.exe
-New Application
-Processor msil
-ToFile "C:\temp\build\RoadrunnerTrap.exe.manifest"
-Name "Roadrunner Trap"
-Version 1.0.0.1
-FromDirectory "C:\temp\build"
# artifacts from C:\temp\build\ are copied to \\server\publish\v1.0.0.1\
./tools/windows_sdk/mage.exe
-New Deployment
-Processor msil
-Install false
-Publisher "Acme, Inc."
-ProviderUrl "\\server\publish\RoadrunnerTrap.application"
-Name "Roadrunner Trap"
-AppManifest "\\server\publish\v1.0.0.1\RoadrunnerTrap.exe.manifest"
-ToFile "\\server\publish\RoadrunnerTrap.application"
Note that the version number does change with every deployment.
