.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / January 2008ClickOnce without user confimation
I have set up my clickonce publishing to check for updates on every application restart. The manifest is located on an unc-path. As soon as the user restarts and there is a new version on the Network there is a dialogue with the choice to install the update or not. Is there a way to skip that dialogue? All my clients have to use the new version, if they press "dont install" I am in big trouble. The only way I found was to check manually for updates (ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CheckForUpdate()), update the Version (ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.Update() ) and restart the app (Application.Restart ). But that doesnt look nice. Mathias I'm not sure. But if we're talking about the same thing, I overcame this by signing the app. And then rolling out certificate as trusted via Group Policy. >I have set up my clickonce publishing to check for updates on every > application restart.

Signing the app simply means that when it comes up with the dialog to install, it says it is from a trusted publisher rather than "Unknown publisher". RobinS.

I don't see how adding a certificate would suppress that dialog, nor why you would want it to. Am I misunderstanding the original post? RobinS.

He may want to sign his deployment, too. People tend to get nervous when it says "Unknown publisher"! RobinS. GoldMail, Inc. ---------------------- >I think you're right. I misread the post.

Mathias > >> Am I misunderstanding the original post? > > >> RobinS. > >> GoldMail,Inc. Yes, you can push the update as required. To do this, in the Properties for your main project, in the Publish tab, click on "Updates...". Go down to "specify a minimum required version for this application" and set it to the version you are about to deploy. When the user next runs the app, it will see that it is a required update, and will skip the "do you want to update" dialog. Also note that if you do this, they can not use add/remove programs to go back one version. Every time you deploy, you need to change the minimum version. Hope this helps. RobinS.
